When I use vm a long time, or started operations with big files in my vm, periodially I get bug: process vmware-vmx.exe
never stop disk activity and vm stops responding(or very slow).
Host system: windows 10; Client (usual): ubuntu 16.04.
That problem happened on different disks (samsung, seagate) and different client systems (various ubuntu).
All disks have alot of free place and don't have bad sectors.
This problem resolved: just update vmware with 12.1.0 to 12.5.2 and in a vm-ubuntu system: etc/fstab swap should not be disabled.
