Description
Hi, I think there should be a more readable error when you try to clone a vm and the default vm folder is not available (e.g. was an external drive, now unplugged). On 5.2.22 on Linux I only get a generic VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR.
To reproduce:
- Configure the default vm folder to a new position
- Render the position unavailable (rename, remove, unplug)
- Create a linked clone of a vm
- A snapshot is created on the original vm
- Error VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR appears
I think it should say that folder xyz is not available, would make troubleshooting faster.
