Kind cluster with vctl fails with wrong number of fields (expected 6, got 7)

MasterWayZ — Tue, 11 May 2021 15:52:41 GMT

Whenever I use vctl and kind to create a kubernetes cluster, it hangs with:

F0510 23:53:30.404937 2014 kubelet.go:1296] Failed to start ContainerManager system validation failed - wrong number of fields (expected 6, got 7)

Attached is the full log and the only customization I use for the cluster is this command:

vctl system config --k8s-cpus 6 --k8s-mem 6g -c 6 -m 8g

System is Windows 10 Pro with VMware Workstation 16.1.1 build-17801498

I think I've found what is going on.

I checked this in a fresh VM as well.

Works fine, also on my regular PC. But my normal user profile has a space in the name. Making it, for example: C:\Users\Michelle MWZ\ (note the space), which upsets the deployment process. Well, it upsets a lot of tools that run on Windows that are initially made for Linux.

Maybe a bug in kind or vctl?
