Transferring Virtual Machine

If anyone out there ever intends to transfer VMWare VMs from Linux to Windows (for example), then you might have issues with how VMWare handles ext3 and ntfs filesystems.

Check the logs and you will probably see a line mentioning that VMWare is unable to create RAM.

Just add this line to your .vmx file (using a text editor)

mainmem.UseNamedFile="FALSE"


Use that line exactly as it looks.

I forgot where I got this information from. But thanks VMWare guy!
