$ ls -l .VirtualBox/HardDisks/sugarub910.vdi -rw------- 1 satimisu910 satimisu910 2238771712 2010-04-03 18:18 .VirtualBox/HardDisks/sugarub910.vdi $ ls -l .VirtualBox/HardDisks/sugarub910base.vdi -rw------- 1 satimisu910 satimisu910 2238771712 2010-04-03 14:30 .VirtualBox/HardDisks/sugarub910base.vdi Why you clone the VM as root?
