To be able to work with them, I need to add a virtual disk and create a swap partition on it. I create such a disk and add it to one of the 3 virtual machines (each for different mounted iso). Currently it's impossible to add the same disk to another machine without releasing it first (correct me if I'm wrong). I've got 3 options:[[BR]] a) create 3 disks, - waste of disk space[[BR]] b) have 1 machine and change the iso to mount every time i want another distro, - pain in the ass[[BR]] c) release and reattach the disk every time i want another distro. - pain in the ass '''What I'd like to see in VirtualBox:'''[[BR]] Instead of not allowing to attach an already attached disk, give a warning that you shouldn't do that. When running a machine with such shared disk give an error (when the disk is used by another one) or a warning (if it isn't).",enhancement,closed,GUI,VirtualBox 1.6.6,fixed,shared virtual disk,,Linux,Linux
