Hello,
Have any of you guys experience the following problem with setting up the bitcraze client on Windows?
Code: Select all
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine BitcrazeVM.
VD: Backend 'VMDK' does not support discard (VERR_VD_DISCARD_NOT_SUPPORTED).
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}
I found this 2015 post, completely devoid of any useful info
here.

I downloaded the latest version of Virtual Box, version 5.2 and the latest release of the VM available on the github page, BitcrazeVM_2018.01.

I had the same problem.
I downloaded the "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.18.vbox-extpack"
from the virtualbox website.
Install it by double clicking on it (Should have virtualbox open, I think).
Virtualbox will install it.
Then you can fire up the bitcraze VM.

Nope, I also had that error, download the vitualbox extension pack and it fixed the error I was having, but not the one I am currently stuck on.

Since the error is about "DISCARD" that is usually related to SSD drive, you can try to disable the SSD checkbox in the VM configuration:
Please tell us if it works, if so we should have that disabled by default when creating the next VM.
