If I'm not mistaken it's actually a Blu-ray player not just a dvd player. Mind you this is from memory not necessarily a fact, lol

Oh yeah, no doubt. One of the whole benefits of PC gaming is being able to snag games from other retailers. Honestly disk drive consoles have the advantage of being able to snag games from other users.

Uhhh. Maybe I'm a little TOO far from the console crowd but I'm going to say this anyways.

Who tf cares? I'm a PC gamer and I've been without a disk drive since 2009.

I will happily admit it is definitely a different situation. For one, this would essentially give Sony a monopoly on games. Which would mean that they would never lower prices and gamers have no one to go to other than them. You know what I'm talking about, all the same shit that Nintendo has been doing for years.

I guess that I'm just curious how many people dislike this.

I'm by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Good on you for trying to help though, seriously. And OP I wanna hear if you're able to get it squared away.

Android only solution, I think. Admittedly I don't know I iPhone very well.

Yeah, I'd just like to ask why it has to be NTFS as well. I want to help you to the best of my ability.

Now in terms of what you are trying to accomplish, it would sincerely help to know what kind of server you are trying to create and what you want it to accomplish so I can help you with the design. It would also help to know what hypervisor you are using to read those VM disks. Now, for the sake of the rest of this post, I'm going to assume that you are simply creating a Linux server meant to share those disks with a hyper-v hypervisor (to ensure we discuss the worst case... Lol... but also because I think the only reason you need NTFS is to support a Windows hypervisor).

Now if that assumption is correct, I would still ask why the filesystem must be NTFS. If all you need is a share for the files then why does the filesystem even matter? In my opinion, the worst case scenario that you have is a samba share which shares these files over as a Windows share. Now Windows is capable of better sharing utilizing either iscsi or NFS. None of these three sharing solutions (samba, iscsi, NFS) require an NTFS filesystem. Though I will admit that there may be some other thing that causes an issue with the potential of these solutions.

Anyways, not to pry, I want to help you though but a little more detail would significantly help with helping you find a solution.
