Hard disk direct usage without routing through host
Posted: 13. Sep 2012, 20:58
Is that possible to get use of a hard disk directly without letting it routed through the host OS?
Because my problem is the following:
I created the vmdk-file as describe in "Chapter 9. Advanced topics" of the VB documentation and added it to my guest vm. After it, I could mount the entire raw disk up in my linux guest vm. Now I can read the ext4 file system, but I can't write to it. How can I get write access without changing the file system to NTFS? In Win7, I cannot set permissions to that hard disk because it's a raw hard disk with an unknown file system.
