I added myself to the disk group so I could have full permissions to the hard drive. The passage did not tell me how to allow an ordinary user to create a new virtual machine.
"Ordinary" users generally won't have access to disk devices. The assumption is that you're going to create a virtual disk file, not use a raw disk or partition directly. Adding yourself to grup disk is OK, but leaves you open to accidentally doing violence to your host OS's disks. It might be better to chgrp the specific disk devices that you want to use for vmware to some new group (perhaps "vmware") and put yourself in *that* group. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
