As far as I remember you can share a single vdi between two or more vm's as long as the vdi is immutable. To enable this you'll need to use the command line. Unregister the vdi first: VBoxManage unregisterimage disk ~/.VirtualBox/VDI/<hostname>.vdi And register as immutable: VBoxManage registerimage disk ~/.VirtualBox/VDI/<hostname>.vdi -type immutable However, all changes made to this vdi will be lost after a reboot. Otherwise, having two machines writing to the same file system will probably mess it up. Hope this helps, Andrew -- . __/_/_ w: http://darq.com/ . __/_/_ t: 020 7100 1447 . / / e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
