Description

Hi,

I asked in the forum but no reply in 3 days therefore I open a ticket here.

As I mentioned in the title, when I create the virtual disk on the NTFS partiton which was mounted with write permission, I got the below error:

Failed to create the hard disk storage /mnt/data/VirtualBox/win2k8.vdi.
Could not create the hard disk storage unit '/mnt/data/VirtualBox/win2k8.vdi'.
VDI: writing pre-header failed for '/mnt/data/VirtualBox/win2k8.vdi' (VERR_NET_OPERATION_NOT_SUPPORTED).

Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Medium
Interface:
IMedium {aa8167ba-df72-4738-b740-9b84377ba9f1}

My NTFS partiton was mounted with write permission:

/dev/sda6 on /mnt/data type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
$ ls -ld /mnt/data/VirtualBox/
drwxr-xr-x 1 quanta quanta 48 Feb 22 14:56 /mnt/data/VirtualBox/

The vboxdrv module was loaded in running kernel:

$ lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetflt             11304  0
vboxnetadp              5692  0
vboxdrv               114736  2 vboxnetflt,vboxnetadp

Below is different result code when I upgrade to version 4.0.4:

Result Code:
VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
Component:
Medium
Interface:
IMedium {9edda847-1279-4b0a-9af7-9d66251ccc18}

Does anyone think of any reason for this?
