16563	Could not create the medium storage	Xerxes		"I've installed VirtualBox 5.1.16 r113841 (Qt5.5.1) on a new installation of Ubuntu 16.04.2.

When I try to create a fixed disk for a new virtual machine using the GUI (guest operating system is Linux 64-bit), I get the following error:

Could not create the medium storage unit '/home/.../VirtualBox VMs/HDNode1/HDNode1.vdi'.
VDI: setting image size failed for '/home/.../VirtualBox VMs/HDNode1/HDNode1.vdi' (VERR_INVALID_PARAMETER).


Result Code: 
VBOX_E_FILE_ERROR (0x80BB0004)
Component: 
MediumWrap
Interface: 
IMedium {4afe423b-43e0-e9d0-82e8-ceb307940dda}

I see that this is a duplicate of Ticket #16464, but I have additional information.
- I've tried using a directory that exists and one that does not. Both result in the same failure.
- I'm trying to create a 20.00 GB fixed disk. There is 418 GB available on the host system.
