[Users] Configure local storage: VDSM error: General Exception

[Vered Volansky]

Hi, 

AFAIK this happens when the path cannot be reached, so permission can indeed be the issue, or just a simple path typo.
Just to make sure:
You only get this error message on the engine log, not in the UI popup, is that correct?

Regards,
Vered
