4628	Split2G option is not supported and should give an error message => fixed in 3.0.12	Joe		"I'm assuming that the --variant Split2G option is not supported - see e.g. [http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/3802]

The '''defect''' is that it's accepted and createhd or clonehd operations appear to succeed. But then the resulting disk can't be used. E.g.:

{{{
C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxManage clonehd T:\Systems\VirtualBox\VDI
\UbunTrek.vdi T:\Systems\VirtualBox\VDI\UbunTrek2G.vmdk --format VMDK --variant
Split2G --remember

Error: failed to clone hard disk. Error message: Could not create the clone hard
 disk 'T:\Systems\VirtualBox\VDI\UbunTrek2G.vmdk' (VERR_OUT_OF_RANGE) 
}}}

A similar error happens with createhd and clonehd --existing.

Commands with --variant Split2G should fail with an error message."	defect	closed	virtual disk	VirtualBox 3.0.2	fixed	split2g vmdk		other	other
