Virtualbox on USB 2Gig

[Garfield071]

Hi,

I am running Virtualbox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu 9.04 installed on a USB key of 2 Gig. Ubuntu runs well but VirtualBox has a stability problem. When I start more than one guest, machines running in background abort after 1 or 2 minutes. The foreground machine (the one that has the keyboard) never crash.

All guest run Ubuntu 8.xxx. They are installed on an external 500 Gig usb disk.

I suspect that 2 Gig is little bit short for this purpose.


Any one has an opinion ?

Thank you

Usb is not really suited for more then one application to write to it at the same time, firewire or esata will do much better.
