I've been building vbox from svn for a while now, and so the XML file describing my WinXP virtual machine has gone through at least three automatic translations for version bumps.
While tracking down some flakiness with networking adapters I discovered that in my one XML file there are *four* separate descriptions of my virtual XP machine, i.e. four separate virtual hard drives, four copies of the network adapters, etc. etc. It appears that only the last copy is being used, judging by which copy is altered when I change settings. Is this expected behavior? I would just delete the virtual machine but vbox won't let me do that without first deleting the snapshots, and I'm not willing to do that. BTW this problem of being forced to delete snapshots before I can use an existing virtual disk for another virtual machine is quite limiting. I've wanted many times to delete a machine and start over with the same virtual disk, but I can't do that until I discard all of the snapshots first. Could the description of a virtual disk be made to include all of its existing snapshots, so it could be shared with other people, other virtual machines, etc?
