Whenever I try to convert an image from a RO network share (via Samba), I get the following error when selecting the source image:

Code: Select all

File I/O error (5) [5]
What does this error mean and does it mean I need to make the image available on a RW share?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hello pdwalker,
V2V converter needs RW access to mount the image correctly and convert it then.
Please set RW access on the share.
