When I tried to start CentOS installed on VMware, the following message was displayed and it wouldn’t boot.

error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.so.6: file too short
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!

The solution was written on the following site:

・chroot: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.so.6: file too short

It seems to be a quite troublesome issue, so I gave up and used the backup I had taken.

That’s all from the Gemba.
