I'm having the same error deploying a green field ESXi 5.0 farm against GlusterFS 3.3. Can provision a VM but can't start it with the identical error: An unexpected error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM vm-26941. Failed to power on VM. Unable to retrieve the current working directory: 0 (No such file or directory). Check if the directory has been deleted or unmounted. Unable to retrieve the current working directory: 0 (No such file or directory). Check if the directory has been deleted or unmounted. Is GlusterFS supported against VMware or should I be looking somewhere else?
