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
