Hi,
When creating a new hard disk image through the API using
IVirtualBox::createHardDisk for example, if the path component contains
a double slash (ie //) then VB appears to truncate this path, but only
when VB is restarted. This causes the disk image to become confusingly
inaccessible on the next run of VB, due to an invalid location.
For example:
/export/Machines/Guest//diskimage.vdi
After VB is reloaded, becomes:
/diskimage.vdi
Easily worked around but /export/Machines/Guest//diskimage.vdi is a
valid UNIX path.
