A few more questions: Are you running any unusual firewall rules? What does `sudo ufw status` show? Have you done anything special with VMware's dhcp server? What does dhcpd.conf show (from your NAT network, should be vmnet8 by default)?

Did not know that; thanks for the info.

Here's how my Windows 11 VM is setup (using 1 processor, 8 cores per processor): This is how I've setup all of my VMs - Windows, Linux, BSD - and it's always worked.

Just checked my Ubuntu 20 VM and it's on kernel 5.15-41. Where did you get the kernel you're using?

For those of you running kernel 5.18, I would suggest taking a look at the Arch AUR package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vmware-workstation and see what the package maintainer has done; maybe it would help getting your system working again. For me, this package has always built without fail, going back to kernel 5.15. To @Mikero, since these problems affect all of us, I believe it would be in VMware's best interest to communicate with the aforementioned packager maintainer; at least it would give the impression that the company is actively seeking a fix. Speaking of fixes...is there an easy way to get on the beta test team? I'm retired, so I can spend as much time as you need to troubleshoot bugs or test fixes.

Not seeing that here: Arch-based host, various VMs. When you say it's "not working", can you please elaborate?

Interesting replies...I did a couple of tests on file transfers and VMware's solution was faster. On that note, I really haven't started hammering the shares yet. I'll give Samba another look (still installed, just not active).

I recently switched my guests to use VMware shared folders instead of Samba. Is there as easy way to monitor their activity, something equivalent to smbstatus?

Yeah, I've gone with SCSI on all my new VMs; only the Windows ones seem to use NVMe as the default.

OK - I removed the offending blue/red lines from @continuum's earlier reply, restarted the VMware Workstation gui, and now I can take snapshots. Still not sure why there were left over from deletion in the gui, but at least snapshots are working now.

Not sure why you feel that the .vmx is incomplete; it was never manually edited, either. This is why I'm having the problem - these lines remained after I removed the devices from the VMware Workstation console. Also, the (3) blue lines are not the same vmdk; (2) are, but I tried using both nvme and scsi buses for a performance test. I know what disks are active.

I had tried to setup shared disks between my Linux VMs, one for swap and the other for software builds. This was working, but it caused more problems (not VMware-related) than it was worth. So I removed them for all VMs, deleted the files from the host. However, the info on each disk still remains, which is not allowing me to create any snapshots. Here's what's left over on some guests: $ grep -e 'shared-build' */*.vmx

ubuntu-20/ubuntu-20.vmx:scsi0:2.fileName = "/media/vms/vmware-images/shared-build/shared-build.vmdk" I'm hesitant to just yank these entries out, because I'm also seeing other entries that reference the old SCSI device: $ grep --color=auto scsi0:2 opensuse-leap/opensuse-leap.vmx
scsi0:2.fileName = "/media/vms/vmware-images/shared-build/shared-build.vmdk"
scsi0:2.mode = "independent-persistent"

Even when using Workstation Player? I have menu icons for both Player and Workstation, never used the Player one after buying a Workstation license. This should not be happening with Player.

Been running VMware WS 16 while storing my VMs on separate BTRFS subvolumes managed by snapper. In searching for info about enhancing performance on BTRFS, every link I find claims it's not optimal. But the links are all 5+ years old. Does anyone else have any current experience with VMs on BTRFS subvolumes? I haven't noticed any problems at all, so I'm curious what others are seeing.
