#21416 new defect

If you have multiple LVM partitions for example on sda2 on Oracle 9.1 Linux Guest on Windows 10 Host, the cloned or exported VM will not boot properly

Reported by: Yuet Owned by:
Component: virtual disk Version: VirtualBox-7.0.6
Keywords: Multiple LVM partitions Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

Hello,

You replicate the problem like this:

  1. Install a new VM from the Oracle 9.1 iso.
  2. Define just one disk and ensure it is very large e.g. 2TB.
  3. Ensure the default installation creates at least two LVM partitions:

e.g. ol-root and ol-home on sda2

  1. When cloned or exported/imported even to the same host machine, the resulting cloned VM will not boot properly, because only the first of the partitions is retained. In the example above, only ol-root is visible to the machine. ol-home disappears off the face of the earth.

As you can see the steps to replicate the problem is trivial.

Thanks for your attention.

Cheers!

Yuet
