Hi, guest-file-write guest agent command (logs pasted below). I faced 2 issues when doing that. 1a. It could wrote only 18bytes! Why could it not write all 26 characters? Are we supposed to track how much data is written and need to resend the remaining one? 1b. What is the limit of data, I can send in one guest-file-write command? 2. In the guest, file data seems to be different. Am I doing something wrong here?
