VirtualBox allows users to use a real partition for VMs, however, there is no GUI tools for doing that. You have to use VBoxManage command. User manual tells you how to do that.
Why don't they offer a GUI tool for managing real partitions? An official announcement says that VM running in a real partition is too unsafe. If some guy modifies some files on this partition in the host, VM maybe crashes. In fact, we can turn off the write privilege to prohibit any modifications. So I do not know why VirtualBox does not offer a GUI tool for managing real partitions for VM. -- <url>http://www.liangsuilong.info</url> Fight for freedom!!!!(3F） Ask not what your Linux distro can do for you!
