Description (last modified by )
I tested this on several servers, and the results are 100% reproducible.
I found 3 ways to destroy the encrypted discs:
First:
- Encrypt the discs of an VM and start the S.O
- Take a online snapshot
- Remove the snapshot with VM turned on.
- Restart the VM
=> The discs are destroyed and the S.O can't start.
Second:
- Encrypt the discs of an VM
- Take a offline snapshot
- Start the VM
- Remove the snapshot with VM turned on.
- Restart the VM
=> The discs are destroyed and the S.O can't start.
Third:
- Encrypt the discs of an VM and start the S.O
- Take a online snapshot
- Pause the VM
- Remove the snapshot with VM paused.
- Resume the VM
- Restart VM
=> The discs are destroyed and the S.O can't start.
I was tried to find a way to make a automatic backup of an encrypted VM, without need the save the key on the backup script to start vm again, and hard crash the discs off the VM.
The log of the VM on the first case as attached, and a screenshot of it after the restart.
It was tested with the last 5.0.22 VirtualBox Release and I dont found other tickts about this defect.
Thanks for you guys that develop this great program.

Can't reproduce this problem with all 3 ways you described. Linux host and Linux guest, using VirtualBox GUI. Can you provide some more information how to reproduce it please?
