Linked Clones: Data-corruption on VM rename, unbootable VM

Reported by: Technologov Owned by:

Description

Host: Windows XP, VBox 4.1.8

Hi,

Doing a rename of a linked-clone VM then rebooting host results in "inaccessible VDI", and non-bootable guest OS.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. make new VM "Windows XP Platinum"
  1. make new linked-clone "Windows XP Clone1"
  1. rename the linked-clone VM to "Windows XP Clone11"
  1. reboot host OS

Actual result:

the differencing disk in the linked clone VM will become inaccessible. VM unbootable.

This bug is still true for 4.1.14.

This is a very nasty and hard to fix bug...

In trunk this is fixed with r41231, and I need to find a way to apply the same idea to 4.1. Shouldn't be extremely difficult any more.
