VBox.log.1

The log doesn't show anything interesting and if the VM just consumes 16GB (+ maybe some overhead) this hints more that something unexpected happened inside the guest, like an out of memory condition killing vital processes. You might try to get at the kernel log in the guest from the VM using our integrated debugger. That might help investigating this issue further. Use the following two commands to get at the guest kernel log:

VBoxManage debugvm <VM name> osdetect
VBoxManage debugvm <VM name> osdmesg

I waited for the next incident to happen, and it did. The output from debugvm is attached.

Thanks for the logs, it shows that the guest lost the disk for some reason. There were some timed out requests the guest was not able to recover from. Can you please also upload the VBox.log for the run you got the other logs from?

Sorry. vboxlog.tar.2.gz can be deleted. vboxlog1.tar.gz is the latest.
