However, especially since it has an SSD, I would like to be able to have virtualbox run from a real partition rather than a VDI or some other type of disk image. Is there a simple way to add support for this feature, or will it require a fair amount of coding? Is there work planned in that direction?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/genodelabs/genode/issues/comments/150829376","html_url":"https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/1739#issuecomment-150829376","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/genodelabs/genode/issues/1739","id":150829376,"user":{"login":"NobodyIII","id":10506218,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10506218?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII","html_url":"https://github.com/NobodyIII","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/NobodyIII/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-24T16:02:44Z","updated_at":"2015-10-24T16:02:44Z","body":"What about raw disk access under Genode, using a partition from part_blk?\n\nOn Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 7:57 AM, Josef Söntgen <notifications@github.com>\nwrote:\n\n> VirtualBox already supports raw disk access and the guide [1] compiled by\n> @cproc <https://github.com/cproc> explains how to use it.\n>\n> [1]\n> https://github.com/cproc/genode/blob/vbox_vm_linux/doc/virtualbox_setup.txt\n>\n> —\n> Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub\n> <https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/issues/1739#issuecomment-150773529>.\n>\n"}}
