The capability is described in section 9.9 of the User Manual. It can be configured to be writable or readonly individually for each guest. It is the responsibility of the guests to provide whatever sharing mechanism they may need for the data on the disk. By the way, just because VirtualBox is allowing multiple guests to write to an area on the disk does not imply they are necessarily going to access that area at the same time. For example one Linux guest could mount a disk partition read-write, make some changes, then unmount the partition. Another Linux guest could later do the same thing. Then the first one could mount it again, etc. Larry _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
