After having some trouble I ran fsck on a newly downloaded amd64 Drupal Quickstart VM and it returns errors. Can anyone please test this?

Hi, I just ran this and it worked:

sudo touch /forcefsck; sudo reboot

If you run fsck while the os is booted, you'll probably corrupt the file system. There was a big warning about this when I tried it. If it's corrupted on the boot check, then either check your disk, or re-download the image and reimport.

Good luck!

I did some more tests and the problem still exists, allthough the error description wasn't accurate.

The downloaded image is correct. But when I start working, after some time the root system becomes read-only because there are file system errors. I ran over this 3 (three) times now. Every time I imported a new clean Quickstart ova-image. I run quickstart-create, import my drupal project, activate xdebug in eclipse and start working. After a while the file system errors occurs. The file system is suddenly read-only and when I reboot into filesystem check, errors are reported.

My configuration:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit
Virtual Box 4.1.0
64-Bit image of Quickstart
Working only with Eclipse, not Netbeans

Can anyone confirm the same configuration? What other configuration information could be relevant?

Hi, this is a virtualbox issue. Check the vbox forums. Even if you are able to reproduce it with Quickstart, the only way to get it fixed is to submit a bug report to virtualbox. Quickstart is an integration project, I don't actually program Linux or virtual box.

As a workaround, my gut says look at the "use host i/o cache" setting (settings->storage).

If you find out something, post back!

Mike

humansky, what is your system configuration? (OS 32/64 Bit, Virtual Box, etc.)

@marsyas, I'm running VirtualBox 4.1.4 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I downloaded Quickstart 1.0 amd64.
