I can and will but the problem answered itself I think.. I'll explain and try to brief. VBox v. 6.04 Host: (Hardware) HP xw8600 2x xeon 56.? 32 GB ram Old but still powerfull. Os on host `newest version of windows 10. I found some time after my post that somehow the disks to that vm had become copied and scattered around the OS. It began (Windows 10 OS) at F:\vb\vm\XX-vm with disks under XX-vm. Upon Looking for 2 screen shots I had taken during one of the boot ups I noticed a directory at F:\vb\vm\IO and under that were 2 of the disks. Investigating further; I was astonished to find a copy of the whole directory tree: C:\vb\vm\XX-vm more disks And at C:\vb\vm\IO 2 more disks all the discs were present in each tree, so a full set of copies including the IO directories. Those`IO' directoies must be something VBox does under some certain (and pretty uncommon) ) conditions. I've never seen it before or anything else nearly so confusing using VBox I'm pretty sure behind it all is some idiocy of mine... just not sure what. And further, I'm pretty sure those scattered discs are the reason for the unreasonable sloth. I've never seen anything like that, but will say I did experiment with snapshots; something I haven't done before and may have done something off the wall. Sorry for the line noise. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
