@rockstar_user Welcome to Rockstor.
No this is not the same bug but an inelegance with dealing with non serial ascribed drives, especially on the system disk. If you assign a serial to all Rockstor disks from within your VMware layer, as would be the case with real drives or better behaved VM environments, you should be good to go:
Please also see the following forum thread which is the same issue:
There I have also referenced a shortcomming in our minimum spec doc entry:
https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-doc/issues/157
Sorry for the inconvenience it’s just a requirement that drives have serials in Rockstor, normally you only get a red warning on the disk page for non system disks without a serial but I overlooked the consequences of no serial on the system drive.
Hope that helps.
