| #3808 | invalid | Ability to copy virtual machines | ||
| Description |
I suggest to add the ability to copy (create new identical item) a virtual disk (with all its content) or a virtual machine with all its virtual disks. |

| #11421 | wontfix | Ability to preallocate a certain amount of disk space on a dynamically allocated virtual hard drive | ||
| Description |
When creating virtual hard drives, it would be nice if a certain amount of disk space can be specified to be preallocated or initialized so that initial disk utilization would be a bit faster. I noticed on dynamically allocated virtual hard drives, installing any OS takes longer than if I were using fixed size virtual hard drive. This may no longer be true when using SSDs, but it would be a few more years before SSDs are as affordable and high capacity as today's HDDs. So if I know that an OS install would take up 3.5G, I would create a 20GB dynamically allocated hard drive but set about 5GB of pre initialized space. |

| #6203 | fixed | Ability to save state/resume all running vms | ||
| Description |
Hey I'm in the situation, that i'm running quite some vms on my desktop machine (minimum 6 of em). It is rather time intensive to save the state of all running machines (it can be up to 12), and restore them after for example rebooting, or updating virtualbox. A great way to implement this would be accepting wildcards on the VBoxManage command line (that wouldn't help in starting the VBoxHeadless' when resuming vms though). This would not only help with saving state, but also in other ways (for example i have a set of vms i only start when i need to test a certain thing on various platforms. all this vms start with a certain string. if i could startvm those with 'BLAH*' instead of BLAH1, BLAH2, that would be great) is this a feature that would fit VBoxManage well, or is it better to do this in a self-hacked script? Just a proposal :) mduft |
