Description Alberto Ruiz 2015-03-04 02:07:21 UTC 
I have a shared external HDD that I use as a general store that I share between Windows and Linux, hence, I use NTFS as it has > 4GB files.

When trying to use some of the ISOs there to create a VM it started to fail for no apparent reason, after I realized that the external NTFS storage could be involved. Moving the file to my /home solved the issue. Would be nice to either support this or prevent the user from being able to select those files or inform him with a proper error.
