I'm starting to use VB a little more serious from my previous simple tests. I'm virtualizing most of my services, and ran in to some ... questions.
I've created a VM with 10Gb fixed disk space and I see that it occupies about that on the FS. But then I also created some snapshots... Will the utilization on the disk be 10Gb + that of the snapshots? Or is the snapshot size included in the 10Gb I created? I don't get a clear answer to this in the documentation... If it's not included, how can I 'apply' the changes to the top-parent image, and scratch the snapshots? Not ideal, but I can use snapshots only for testing purposes... This is my private/personal system(s) and I don't always have the cash to buy new harddisks (in time) so I often run the FS 'to the brim', leaving my VM's not able to increase the disk image files. That's why I want to have a fixed size of my VM's, so that no matter what, they have the room to run as expected... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the two and get a better understanding. http://p.sf.net/sfu/hp-phase2-d2d _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
