One unexpected result is that vbox seems to create the same named

So, end result is, you have disc-10 under your vm disc directory and
disc-10 out on the external.... the only one growing is on the
external. This all seems to work seamlessly with the oi OS.
Must be something like a place marker that vbox finds necessary to
create.
If they are VMDK files, these can contain a redirection to one or more
VMDK extent files. The first 4kB (less the magic header) contains the
VMDK descriptor file in plain text (NUL padded).
dd if=xxx.vmdk count=7 skip=1
and look under the Extent description section, which will be pointing to
the real file(s). (In the simple case of a single VMDK file, it points
to itself.)
