Hi Quaizar,

Since you did not explicitly mention it, are you using a debug build or a release build? You need a debug build of VirtualBox for this level of logging.

Ram.

    I am trying to turn on logging for operations in VD.cpp &
    VMDK.cpp. I have tried several options with no success.

    I am on OS X host running Mountain Lion.

    I have tried turning on the logs by setting the env variables and
    starting VirtualBox client manually from the same shell (which
    starts VBoxSvc as well) followed by VirtualBoxVM also from the
    same shell. Here is what I have tried.

    qvs-MacBook-Pro:Logs qv$ env | grep VB
    VBOX_LOG_FLAGS=time tid thread
    VBOX_LOG=+main.e.l.f+defualt.e.l.f+VD.e.l.f+VD_VMDK.e.l.f
    qvs-MacBook-Pro:Logs qv$ VirtualBox &
    [1] 3175
    qvs-MacBook-Pro:Logs qv$
    
/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/VirtualBoxVM.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtualBoxVM
    --comment ubuntu-gnome-13.04 --startvm
    0daa22b1-4869-4173-bc36-64ee3a558841 --no-startvm-errormsgbox &
    [2] 3180


    I have run gdb on VirtualBoxVM, attached to the running process
    and tried calling RTLogGroupSettings(0,
    "+main.e.l.f+defualt.e.l.f+VD.e.l.f+VD_VMDK.e.l.f");

    I have tried putting the env variables in my .bash_profile and
    then starting VirtualBox client from the Launchpad and the VM from
    VirtualBox still to no avail.

    Do I need a debug image to turn on this logging? Or is this is a
    OSX issue?

    I have also spent some time browsing thru the vbox-log.cpp &
    log.cpp but haven't got any clues.

    Would greatly appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks,
    Quaizar
