In regards to creating the new Virtual Machine in VirtualBox, can anyone recommend the advantages of creating a "virtual hard drive" verses a "large image file on your “real” hard disk"?
Reading the VirtualBox set-up and user manual find it very informative. The user manual said, -Begin- "There are many and potentially complicated ways in which VirtualBox can provide hard disk space to a VM (see chapter 5, Virtual storage, page 79 for details),but the most common way is to use a large image file on your “real” hard disk, whose contents VirtualBox presents to your VM as if it were a complete hard disk. This file represents an entire hard disk then, so you can even copy it to another host and use it with another VirtualBox installation." -End- Curious what opinions or suggestions other "Virtual Machine" users can share on this topic please.
