vmgbd: VMware® generic block device patch

This utility patches VMware to use any block device (LVM, loop, etc.) as a hard drive. It adds the functionality of vmware-bdwrapper to VMware in a tightly integrated and seamless manner with absolutely no performance penalty while allowing you to use any device path. Installation instructions and a FAQ are included.

Only "Use entire disk" is supported on VMware Server. VMware Workstation can also "Use individual partitions".
