[Users] Error on prlctl set 100 --device-add --image PATH

[Alexey Zilber]

>From the man page:

image_name: the image file to be used to emulate the VE virtual hard disk.
To use an existing image file, specify its name and path.  To create  a
new  image  file, omit the --image option (a new file named harddiskN.hdd
will be created in the VE directory) or use --recreate option.

You have two options here.  Either create a new disk image externally,
before running that command (using dd, fdisk/parted, mkfs, etc.).  Or, you
can try the --recreate option.

Let us know how that goes. :)
