Can't build with VBox 5

Open lgbaldoni opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

As per title. Also does it support the vdi format VBox 5 creates?

Regards

Was able to build for VBox 5.0.40, given the correct virtualbox src download.

However, vbfuse fails to enumerate all partitions of my dual-boot VDI. All I get is Partition1 (the EFI partition).

verbose gives no errors, it just enumerates to Partition1 and finishes.

So, absent more info, would not appear to fully support for VBox 5 VDIs.

Thanks. Sorry for keeping you waiting. As soon as I can get a few hours for coding I will check it put. If you have more info, please share them. Would reduce my workload. Also: Pull Requests - if you have fixes. Thanks

Not a problem. Ended up building the nbd kernel module and going qemu-tools route to achieve same ends.

One detail I can provide by way of comparison: nbd doesn't reliably enumerate partitions unless one specifies a max_part value when invoking mod_probe.

I don't recall there being an equivalent setting for vbfuse. If not, that might need adding. If it is already provided for, maybe the docs could make it more readily apparent.
