Black_cache_virtual_box

Support Virtualization
1

Hello, I wanted to go on to detail the problem that is happening to me:

Ambient:

virtualbox 6.1.12-3
virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.1.13.139853-1
Kernel 5.7.14-1

When I create a virtual machine with Windows 10 pro stored the VDI on a different disk than where Manjaro is installed, during the installation progress I received a window with the error BLACK_CACHE. I tried to vary the configurations, for example in storage, leave the I / O option checked, put USB 1.0. And I was unsuccessful.
I also tried creating the machine on the Primary Disk (where Manjaro is installed) and it installed fine. Then I imported that virtual machine into Virtualbox but stored on another hard drive and I got the BLACK_CACHE problem again.

Do you know if the problem is related to some additional configuration that I am missing because I store the VDI on a disk other than manjaro? the secondary disk is correctly mounted.

Thanks a lot

There is currently a bug in this package. You either use USB 1.0, install the previous version or don’t use it at all.

ok, I see that there is a new package called “manjaro” released 1 week ago. will it be the solution? aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-ext-oracle-manjaro

It sows my mistrust as it isn’t the official procedure.
I see that there are differences between the supported versions of virtualbox 6.1.12 and ext-oracle 6.1.13.

Thanks

virtualbox-ext-oracle was never in the repos. So the procedure for this package is the same. It is in AUR!

virtualbox-ext-oracle-manjaro downloads version 6.1.12, so it should solve your problem.

5

I uninstalled virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.1.13 and installed virtualbox-ext-oracle-manjaro 6.1.12 according to my version of virtualbox 6.1.12 but I still have the same problem. Will anyone have the reason for the error?

Did you reinstall VB additions in the VM?

8

I already reinstalled.

I tried uninstalling virtualbox and ext-oracle. Then, I installed the latest version 6.1.14 and the problem continues.

The last stable update solves the problem for me. I 'm currently using version 6.1.14 of virtualbox-ext-oracle.

Update your system and check if virtualbox-ext-oracleis the last version. The reboot and reinstall VB additions in your VM’s.

I try to import an .ova on a secondary disk and a windows appears saying “time remaining: 50 hours”
I tried importing to another disk (they are mounted correctly) and the same window appears.

Please post the output of sudo fdisk -l and lsblk -f

Please edit your post and enclose the terminal output with the button </> or within three backticks.

So you are trying to install a VM in a ntfs filesystem under Linux? Why? I don’t know if it has anything to do with it, but that’s the first thing I’d try to change.

Another thing I noticed is that you have a mix of DOS and GPT partitioning. But since you don’t seem to be having any issued with it, let it be.
