Mount error with persistence file

[avggeek]

Can you use VMWare to do a comparison test?

With Workstation Pro, I'm able to successfully boot the Ubuntu ISO with persistence file ubuntu2110.dat (persistence_ext4_1GB_casper-rw.dat).

It is much harder to use Ventoy with VMWare though, as VMWare does not have a simple way to boot from physical USB. Steps I had to use are:

• Change BIOS type to UEFI in VM Settings.
  
• Right click on VM and choose "Power on to firmware"
  
• Attach USB drive to VM using Removable Devices menu
  
• Go to "Enter Setup", choose "Boot from a file"
  
• Look for the "VTOYEFI" entry, then navigate to /EFI/BOOT directory
  
• Select the BOOTX64.EFI file
