Those files are actually bending the VMDK specs quite a bit. But as they appear to work elsewhere we're going to make them work too.

One thing which is definitely outside the specs is that the image is exactly one byte too short. This is at least true for the image in vmhaiku.r27363.zip. It's not a multiple of 512 bytes in size. What software are you using to create those images? It definitely is broken.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

This will be fixed in VirtualBox 2.0.2.
