Hi to all.

I am creating Virtual disks Shareable for a cluster.. all runs ok but if I close virtual box afther of some time 5 mins, start again Virtualbox and see in Virtual Media Manager all disk go away??!!!..

Any body is happening the same?? the normal disk are ok but the shareable disk all disappear form the interface (and my virtual machines refuses to start because can't find the disks).

Are you deleting VMs? There is no persistent global media registry. Disk are registered in the VM that created them. If you delete that VM then the disks will disappear when a new non-persistent global media registry is built (i.e. once VBox has been shut down and restarted). If you want the disks to remain permanently registered then you can try hosting them in a dummy VM, i.e. one that never runs.
