Forgive this very basic question about RDM's but its an feature I haven't need of before.
If I present a vm with a RDM for use e.g for FTP server storage so that whether I use the vm itself or some other tool the directory structure and content be identical e.g not a single vmdk file in 1 when viewed by some non vmware tool
If thats true, is there scope for me to add contents directly to the rdm or will permissions mean that while the files can be written the vm guest os won't be able to access them, going back to my ftp server example could I copy files from somwhere directly to the rdm and the vm guest os would be able to work with them as if they were written directly to the rdm by the guest os itself?
