Partition .....

[lando]

.... could be read by a guest ? (of course if filesystem is supported...)
Thanks.

Not really sure what you mean lando, but if you are talking about a guest being able to read files from the host you can use VBox shared folders, or setup a network share.

I mean ...could a guest detect a partition , not the host partition but another one...I think is not possible but I could mistake..

Yes you could use "raw disk access" look in the manual for createrawvmdk.
And READ the warning. If the partition is mounted in the guest and host it WILL be corrupted sooner or later.

Fine,then I could create a partition that a guest can use ...(read and Write access ?... I 'll read about it)
Thanks.

Anyway ,if I get fine,raw access doesn't give access to real partition but to its image ....

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /path/to/file.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda
