So VirtualBox 2.1.2 was released yesterday with some bug fixes and improvements. See the changelog for details.

One little annoying bugglet that was fixed was the clonehd function of VBoxManage. Now the cloned disks do actually work instead of ending up corrupted and unbootable as described here.

Another thing I have been having some issues with, which happens every now and then, is some unexplainable freeze when accessing files and folders on network shares in Vista. The changelog mentions a fix for this problem for Windows 2000 and I am hoping to see less of this problem now.

Another great improvement is that I can now finally run my 1023 guest machines all at the same time, this limit used to be 127 :)
