Hi, On a testbox I created a new virtual machine allocating much more diskspace I'm physically able to do.
After creating the new virtual machine (the same virtualbox session) and starting it, the installer in the virtual machine complained 'disk full'. In a first panic reaction I killed virtualbox. After that I deleted the vdi file by hand. When I start virtualbox it complains about invalid lines in VirtualBox.xml. I reproduced this ill effect succesfully, each time complaining about different lines, but the same impact: virtualbox cannot start. I therefore conclude when I alter the configuration of virtualbox, he doesn't make a backup of VirtualBox.xml. It's delayed until I shut down virtualbox. But in my case (out of diskspace) things got wrong awfully. Why not creating a bak file right before I alter the configuration ? In that way, I'm able to just mv VirtualBox.xml.bak VirtualBox.xml and things are sorted out quickly. Ofcourse I shouldn't run out of space, but hey: it's a testbox 8-) I'm not sure if this has been reported before, has been spoken before (my search did not reveal that), this is intended behaviour... So before filing a ticket, first this message here...
