Hello,

I noticed that there is a minor problem in the vmrun.sh script if you are using a zvol as the virtio_diskdev. The 'make_and_check_diskdev' check will fail if virtio_diskdev is a zvol as it only checks for files (vs char devices). This is harmless as the truncate doesn't actually do anything if the device is a zvol however the attached small patch fixes the problem and removes the spurious error message.

Paul
