Guru mediation: Full Disk

[John Felso]

I'm getting this message when starting one of my VM's in 4.2.0. Uninstalling 4.2.0 and re-installing 4.1.22 enables the machine to boot. The host disk is not full:

Host: Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) 64-bit Available space on host disk: 157 GB Guest: Windows XP VDI size: 40 GB

The log you attached shows another guru meditation and not one with a disk full error.

[John Felso]

At line 2737 it shows the Full Disk message.

[aeichner]

That is a message from the guest as far as I can see and nothing from VirtualBox.

[John Felso]

The guest disk isn't full either. And it booted fine when I switched back to 4.1.22.

[John Felso]

I've made some progress with this. It seems that the guest crashes under the following conditions: the host is running VirtualBox 4.2 and Nested Paging is enabled. It runs fine under VirtualBox 4.1 regardless of the Nested Paging setting.

There are actually 2 problem that I see in the log. The first is "Guru Meditation -1012 (VERR_INVALID_RPL)". The second is a "Full Disk" message, which appears to be from the guest OS. The full disk messsage may have something to do with full disk encryption being used.

I ran into the same problem.

I am using 4.3.2, a dd disk image created from a Check Point Full Disk encrypted drive, windows 7 64bit guest on a kubuntu 13.10 64bit host. With VT-x, and nested pages enabled, the VM would crash. I got around the problem by disabling unrestricted guest mode.

sendep, please attach a VBox.log file of a VBox 4.3.2 session where you saw this Guru Meditation.

A colleague reports that 4.3.8 supposedly resolved this issue. He is running almost identical setup to 'sendep'. Can someone could check and confirm that this issue has indeed been resolved? Thanks
