I have a VMware Player VM located in a remote shared folder that resides on a Linux server. On the server side I have set up my file access permissions to the user ID used to open the shared folder, and I ran chmod -R 0777 *
on the directory where the VMs are located.
Whenever I try to start a suspended VM, I get an error message that says:
Could not get snapshot information: Failed to lock the file
Module Snapshot power on failed
Failed to start the virtual machine
There are no stale .lck
files on my VM's working directory, and I have made sure multiple times that the user ID I use to access the SMB share can create and remove files properly. I tried granting total access to all user IDs on the shared folder's properties, Security tab, and it didn't work.
