I apologize if this has been answered in a previous post but I could not find the answer to my unique situation. I am not a complete newb to linux but far from an expert... So, I have a Ubuntu 13.04 headless (no monitor) server with phpVirtualBox to access my windows server that I run as a guest OS. I have a luks encrypted drive that is unlocked and mounted at /media/sdc. I created a vmdk with raw hard disk access as outlined here (http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#idp14091280). The drive is encrypted for data at rest solution, in case it gets stolen or what not. The problem I am having is when I try to add the raw hard disk vmdk (sdc.vmdk) to the guest OS, it gives me the access denied error. (VERR_ACCESS_DENIED) (0x80BB0004) I checked, and it was owned by root, so I chown to user:user but that didn't work. Is it because the drive is encrypted? going to try with an unencrypted drive to see what happens. Thanks ahead of time for the support.
