I am about to install Solaris on top of my Windows through Virtualbox. I have decided to allocate a storage of 50 GB to it. Now will the 50 GB be taken from the empty space available in that drive (F://), or it may encroach upon existing data, clear it and occupy it? If not, if the limit exceeds 50 GB at some point, and there is no space left in the drive, will VB take empty space from other drives or overwrite existing data in F drive?
It is dynamically allocated. So while it grows up, will it consume space from the free space available, or may it encroach on used space too? – SexyBeast – 2012-09-01T17:17:13.427
it is a file just like any other on the host system. when you are out of space on that host drive that's it. its no different then say recording a mp4 from your video camera that file keeps expanding till your os tells the app no more room. – Kendrick – 2012-09-01T17:28:09.700
