3.0.10 breaks raw disk support? VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION

I just upgraded to 3.0.10 and noticed that my reiserfs partition wasn't loading in my Ubuntu guest. It kept telling me 'wrong fs type'. So I tried to create a new vmdk, but it fails when trying to list partitions:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\peenut\.VirtualBox\HardDisks>"C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.10
(C) 2005-2009 Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Error opening the raw disk: VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION
And skipping that, trying to create it gives the following:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\peenut\.VirtualBox\HardDisks>"C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename test.vmdk -rawdisk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 -partitions 2
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.0.10

Error opening the raw disk '\\.\PhysicalDrive0': VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION
The raw disk vmdk file was not created
Anyone else having the same problem?

edit: I'm on Win7 by the way.

This is a known issue with 3.0.10 (raw access is broken in general).
