Recently I repartitioned my harddrive and had to recreate VMDK file which is used to access some of my physical partitions by guest machine.
You can do it using the command
The result did not satisfy me, because guest machine required RW access to entire /dev/sda.
Looking for description of VMDK format I have found this.
