Storage of a partition with error VD: error VERR_NOT_SUPPORT

[long.tran]

I am following a tutorial of installing Windows 7 on a Yosemite. There is a step to do the following:

Code: Select all

sudo vboxmanage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename bootcamp.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/disk0 -partitions 4

sudo chown $USER bootcamp*.vmdk

I successfully add new created bootcamp.vmdk, but not able to run the virtual machine. It gives me this error. I also attach the error log

Code: Select all

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine windows 7.

VD: error VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED opening image file '/Users/longtran/Desktop/bootcamp.vmdk' (VERR_NOT_SUPPORTED).

I've never tried raw disk access but are you sure the syntax is correct in your first command? See: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=68756&p=327884&hili ... mp#p327884

I configured VirtualBox for my Bootcamp partition a long time, so I don't remember the command I used to create the vmdk. I can confirm that I get the same VERR_NOT_SUPPORT errors with versions 5.0.4 and 5.0.2. When I revert to version 5.0.0, my Bootcamp setup works again.
