I'm sure this question has been asked, but I have no idea of how to phrase my search.
My issue is this - we have a NAS that's squashing root, the virtual machines reside on an NFS export on said NAS, and the vmware-vmx processes are owned by root. Even if I choose a non-root user during the vmware-config.pl script, it still runs the processes as root. When it comes time to spin up the VM, it barks that it doesn't have sufficient privs to the disk (regardless of how I chmod it). The easy way out is to disable root_squash, but that's not an option. Is there a place to modify who owns the vmware processes during VM execution?
Thanks in advance.
