I was running MacOS Sierra with 1.6.1 with no problems.
Upon upgrading to 1.7.1, all of my vmdk vmware virtual disk images began to have problems with disk corruption.
VMware fusion offered to correct the errors with the file structure but the fix would not persist. Each time the VM was opened, there would be a problem with the on-disk structure errors.
Downgrading back to 1.6.1 fixed all these problems.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
The problem seems to happen after lots of writes to the vmdk file, as occurs when installing cumulative updates to a Windows installation (300MB + of writes).
