Ahh, sorry. I forgot not everybody is running on solaris. ;-) Even though the OP said he's running linux on linux. Sorry, I was being a dufus. Stephan, you said you add the 'vbox' user to 'disk' group, and confirm /dev/sdX belongs to root:disk. So there are a few things to check: Are you running Virtualbox as 'vbox' or as another user, such as yourself? Do a 'ls -l /dev/sdX' and confirm that the group has 'rw' permissions. Do a 'ls -ld /dev' and confirm that user, group, and other, all have 'r-x' What OS are you running on, specifically? Perhaps a selinux or apparmor issue? Try "sestatus" and if appropriate temporarily, "sudo setenforce 0" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How ServiceNow helps IT people transform IT departments: 1.
