I don't know what you mean "install it from crash," but yes I set the rights
that I know of -
I have a user account called "eharvey" and eharvey is the owner of
/virtualmachines, and eharvey is a member of the "vboxuser" group, and when I
"sudo zfs create virtualmachines/newvm" I then "sudo chown eharvey
/virtualmachines/newvm" before trying to create the new VM. Yes I can create
files (touch /virtualmachines/newvm/foo ; ls -l /virtualmachines/newvm/foo ; rm
/virtualmachines/newvm/foo) in that directory. So I've solidly confirmed I
have the right permissions - at least - the right permissions as far as I know.
In fact, just as a test, I tried this:
cd /virtualmachines
mkdir newvm
ls -l
Confirm the "newvm" directory is owned by me, and writable.
Now launch VirtualBox, and try to create a new machine called "newvm"
Same error:
Cannot create the machine folder newvm in the parent folder
/virtualmachines
This folder already exists and possibly belongs to another machine.
Only option is "Copy" or "OK" where "Copy" just copies the error message to
clipboard. So VirtualBox refuses to move forward, as long as the destination
directory already exists. Even if it's just an empty directory.
