Pablo, So out of your experimentation have you decided that without going to iscsi you cannot have two VMs in VirtualBox access the same disk image with write access? I think the only way you could do this is by exporting the host drive via iscsi and then using Vboxes iscsi initiator to give the disk to the VM. I'm not sure if VMware will freak out if you have one disk sent to more than one VM but I have reason to believe that it will be fine. We're not talking about writing safely though.
Grant McWilliams Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use Windows." Now they have two problems.
