That sounds like a safe plan. Question. What do you do exactly when you
say "convert my Current VM"?
I'm curious too. I have never seen this behavior. You must be doing
something that triggers files to be generated on other drives or you
somehow managed to have your master VM on one drive and the snapshot
files on a another drive. I would stop using snapshots. Seems to me like
your also a bit unclear as to how the really work in fusion.
Must say that I'm a bit disappointed in etungs silence since yesterday.
The documentation around snapshots in fusion is anything but good. It's
downright marketing to me. No depth.
I think if you revert or discard a snapshot all changes are lost, rolled
back. If you take a new snapshot. The changes in the existing snapshot
is merged with the VM before the new snapshot is taken. So if you want
to remove a snapshot but keep the changes instead of rolling back what
you did you need to take a new snapshot and then immediately remove the
new one (which is empty).
I'd like to see a confirmation from VMware on this or they are welcome
to point me to where this is described in detail in the documentation.

My silence is not necessarily meaningful - I could be busy/distracted, on vacation (coming up), think others are handling it fine, etc.
