Make it possible to change HDD's type #10

Normal, writethrough, immutable. It's a cheap alternative to full snapshots.

mitchellh commented 14 years ago

This is not possible based on the API (or not easily possible). At any rate, snapshots have been implemented now!

Isn't it "VBoxManage modifyhd settype"?

mitchellh commented 14 years ago

Ah I misread your request. The gem no longer uses VBoxManage at all anymore =] It now uses the C API. Within the C API its pretty easy to do but mediums don't yet support saving.

I'll see if this can be added soon.
