I started an inflate on an 8Tb vmdk. It's been running for 5 days and is only 30% done. Two questions:
Is creating a Thick provisioned disk when creating the VM significantly faster than inflating a thin disk?
If so, what is the process name of the inflate process that will allow me to kill the process from the command line?
Corrupting the VM isn't an issue as I will just delete it and create a new one using the thick option.
