[vbox-dev] Turning on Virtual Disk (VD group) debug logs on VBox

[Quaizar Vohra]

Ramshankar,

Thanks!

I am running a release build and not a debug build

Given that my MAC is running OSX mountain lion I am not able to create a
debug build. Do you guys have any URL where I can get a debug build from?
Or any suggestions how to get one for  mountain-lion.

Do you need a debug build for all debug logs. I have not been able to see
any logs even with
VBOX_LOG=+all on my MAC?

Thanks,
Quaizar
