Vmware Workstation 14 Player :- we were hoping to locate a Windows 10 Virtual Machine on a USB SSD disk drive, connected to a Windows 10 laptop.
On attempting to create the virtual machine on the USB disk drive, a refusal message is received :- “The destination file system does not support large files”. The USB disk drive has over 400GB of free space on it.
If the Virtual Machine is instead created on the laptop’s own hard disk and then copied over to the USB disk drive, it subsequently seems to then work fine located on the USB disk drive.
However does anyone have any ideas why you can’t create the VM on the USB disk drive? Note the USB Disk Drive does have a UDF file system. It may be that Workstation misbehaves with UDF file systems, although could'nt find anything to that effect thru Google.
