Fixed Size Shared Disk In VirtualBox

[Smruti]

Dear Experts

I am working on a RAC Setup in my Local Environment and I created a Shared Disk with Fixed Size for 2 VMs. This Fixed Size is mandatory for Shared Disk. Could anyone please help me, if there is any options to create Shared Disk with Dynamic Space Allocation? I am getting stuck, as I have very Less space in my Laptop.


Thanks in Advance!!

Looks like you're stuck.

Shareable hard disks ... Only fixed size images can be used in this way, and dynamically allocated images are rejected.

Either reduce the needed size of the fixed disk or get more laptop storage. An external SSD on a USB 3 connection should perform pretty well.

Or explain what application requires shared disk, something almost unheard of in the physical realm. I hope this isn't being done on assumed performance grounds.

Thanks for update. Just I was asking to know, If Dynamic Allocated Shared Disk can be possible in any Backward Version.
