I tried changing it to /data/VirtualBox VMs but I'm getting an error to check the parent folder and permissions.

Cannot create the the machine folder Tumbleweed in the parent folder /data/Virtual VMs. Please check that the parent really exists and that you have permissions to create the machine folder.

Should I add my second drive to /etc/fstab for the SSD?

Daniele.

Yes. That was the first thing that I tried. FYI I'm not using a second drive that's on usb. I tried adding the UUID of the second drive to /etc/fstab but during the reboot grub was searching for that drive. I think I forgot to run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. I'm going to try something and get back to the list. Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Try with: vboxmanage setproperty machinefolder /path

Bye, Daniele. As root. Part of the problem is permissions.

In regards to adding the UUID to /etc/fstab. What is the command so that grub2 on the SSD doesn't sit'n wait for the 2nd hard drive to boot up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

However, if you mention a disk in fstab, it must be present during boot or it will fail. Not grub. Later. You can, however, use options like "nofail" and/or "noauto".

Update How to add your second 1TB drive for VirtualBox and VMware I previously formatted my second drive using gparted - formatted it using xfs as one partition and assigned the label data. Your fstab will recognize the label name as a mount point. 1. Type: sudo blkid /dev/sdb1 and copy the UUID to the hosts's /etc/fstab UUID=cf28b419-8c39-46ac-8005-d03486a64355 /media/data xfs defaults 0 2 Note that I am using /media/data as the mount point. 2. Reboot the openSUSE system. 3. Start VirtualBox File ->Preferences and change the Default Machine Folder so that it points to /media/VirtualBox VMs. Click the OK button to confirm. 4. Start VMware Player or Workstation Pro and search the host's filesystem for /media/vmware and open the .vmx file. Now you can open and save your large virtual drives to the second drive hard drive.

I reserve the directory /media for automatic mounts. Instead, I use /data/something.

I wonder if I can use /srv instead of /media? I have read that the SUSE manual refers to using /media. -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Just invent your own name: /ThisIsWhereIStoreMyThings for instance. /srv is supposed to be the "server" tree: ftp, web, etc. You don't have to use a name that you find in the list... just type your own. Any name that exists very probably has a purpose already. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Nope.

vboxmanage setproperty machinefolder default /data/VirtualBox VMs

Wrong: vboxmanage setproperty machinefolder /data/VirtualBox or edit the xml file Bye, Daniele. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
