vim.vm.FileLayoutEx

Detailed description of files that make up a virtual machine on disk. The file layout is broken into 4 major sections:

• Configuration: Files stored in the configuration directory
• Log: Files stored in the log directory
• Disk: Files stored relative to a disk configuration file
• Snapshot: Stored in the snapshot directory
• Often the same directory is used for configuration, log, disk and snapshots.
