Description
It is ok if a read/write harddisk image cannot be used by two running v.m. at the same time, but it is a very bad idea to prevent assignment of same image to different machines. This hinders tests with different machine configurations badly.

Fixed in 2.1.0 AFAIR, but in every case this works with VBox 2.2.0.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Anyway, I would prefer to have the opportunity to assign even read/write harddisks to multiple running v.m. at the same time. Possible application: testing a Global File System (GFS), which is designed specifically to handle this case.
