That is a qemu.git/master tree and includes Fam's vmdk enhancements.

You could try the other subformats:

$ qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o subformat=monolithicFlat image.iso image.vmdk

or:

$ qemu-img convert -O vmdk -o subformat=twoGbMaxExtentSparse image.iso
image.vmdk

Fam: Any suggestions?  Do you know why vSphere is rejecting the
default monolithicSparse image?
