I'm from Poland. I use VirtualBox an have a small problem. I prepare a .vmdk disk like this:
# sudo VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/chester/dysk.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb1
next I want to use this new "dysk" (just create new virtual machine on xVM) and I've got a error:
Could not open the hard disk '/home/chester/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/dysk.vmdk'.
VD: error opening image file '/home/chester/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/dysk.vmdk' (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED).
Result code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
HardDisk2
Interface
IHardDisk2 {ed6e2525-c2fd-42a4-917a-7a9045ac9e15}
Called function:
IVirtualBox {339abca2-f47a-4302-87f5-7bc324e6bbde}
I think this could be helpful:

When I log as root and start VirtualBox everything is ok.
Thanks for any help.
