NS8: All VMWare images unusable

Yes, without the subformat=streamOptimized option the images (Debian, Alma and Rocky) work but they are sized about 2 GB.

I tried several qemu-img options and VMWare vmkfstools but without getting a smaller working vmdk.

I uploaded the working vmdks here for testing.

Working qemu-img command:

qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O vmdk ns8-image.qcow2 ns8-converted.vmdk

The qcow images (I didn’t test CentOS Stream) are working in Proxmox.
