The post recounts VMware Fusion causing full system crashes on macOS when pausing VMs stored in a FileVault-encrypted directory, noting the issue persists across multiple Fusion builds; adding `mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"` to the VM’s .vmx file mitigates the problem (with slower pause/unpause), while relocating VMs to a non-encrypted drive fully resolves it.
