At least on VirtualBox Win32 4.0.12, on when hibernating and the disk is full, V.B. actually crashes

Reported by: mik_ Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 4.0.12
Keywords: hibernate freeze unresponsive UI ctrl+alt+delete need to be killed Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

(I would believe this bug is around also now.)

Here's how it works:

  • Fill up your harddrive so there's only 100MB or so left on it. This should be enough to produce an out of memory error on hibernate, if the VM's RAM is at least 600MB or so.
  • Click Shutdown, Hibernate.
  • An error box comes up saying VirtualBox had an error because the harddrive is full.

From here, you *cannot* resume the hibernation process, nor take any action with the VirtualBox window!

All that is to be done is to kill it using the task manager from ctrl+alt+delete . All info in that Virtualbox session has been lost.

Lots of people must have this error.
