Virtualbox VM’s randomly corrupting
by Meow1234 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55C9Q)
So, this happened a few years ago but I would still like to know why this happened.
I was just using VirtualBox and testing some linux distros on Ubuntu 12.04. After I was done doing that, I went into another VM and used that. However after restarting my computer, some of my VM's were corrupt. This included the two aformentioned VM's.
So I just deleted those and went to another one. I then deleted a very large VM because it was useless. Another VM then became corrupt. Does anyone know why this happened?
Also this does not happen on windows as far as I know.
