#22 Don't keep phpvirtualbox's groups with VirtualBox OSE on FreeBSD

[VVD]

FreeBSD 10.0 RELEASE amd64, VirtualBox 4.3.8 and 4.3.10, phpvirtualbox 4.3-1.
phpvirtualbox/config.php: var $phpVboxGroups = true;

1. Create group in phpvirtualbox.
2. Move some virtual machines in group (<extradataitem name="phpvb/Groups" value="/GroupName"> tag in *.vbox file).</extradataitem>
3. service vboxwebsrv stop
4. service vboxnet stop (unload kernel modules vboxnetflt.ko and vboxnetadp.ko)
5. service vboxnet start
6. service vboxwebsrv start
7. Refresh page - no groups, but tag <extradataitem name="phpvb/Groups" value="/GroupName"> exist...</extradataitem>

Same for other ExtraDataItem tags - for example <extradataitem name="pvbx/startupMode" value="auto">.</extradataitem>

Hm. Tags was removed by sf.

FreeBSD 10.0 RELEASE amd64, VirtualBox 4.3.8 and 4.3.10, phpvirtualbox 4.3-1.
phpvirtualbox/config.php: var $phpVboxGroups = true;

1. Create group in phpvirtualbox.
2. Move some virtual machines in group (< ExtraDataItem name="phpvb/Groups" value="/GroupName"/> tag in *.vbox file).
3. service vboxwebsrv stop
4. service vboxnet stop (unload kernel modules vboxnetflt.ko and vboxnetadp.ko)
5. service vboxnet start
6. service vboxwebsrv start
7. Refresh page - no groups, but tag < ExtraDataItem name="phpvb/Groups" value="/GroupName"/> exist...

Same for other ExtraDataItem tags - for example < ExtraDataItem name="pvbx/startupMode" value="auto"/>.

Can you confirm that these values are returned from VBoxManage?

$ VBoxManage getextradata TEST_VM enumerate
Key: phpvb/Groups, Value: /TestGroup
$ sudo service vboxwebsrv stop
Stopping vboxwebsrv.
Waiting for PIDS: 52783.
$ sudo service vboxwebsrv start
Starting vboxwebsrv.
$ VBoxManage getextradata TEST_VM enumerate
Key: phpvb/Groups, Value: /TestGroup
$ sudo service vboxwebsrv stop
Stopping vboxwebsrv.
Waiting for PIDS: 52929.
$ sudo service vboxnet stop
$ sudo service vboxnet start
$ sudo service vboxwebsrv start
Starting vboxwebsrv.
$ VBoxManage getextradata TEST_VM enumerate

But other VM:
$ VBoxManage getextradata TEST_VM2 enumerate
$ grep phpvb /vm/TEST_VM2/TEST_VM2.vbox
<extradataitem name="phpvb/Groups" value="/TestGroup"></extradataitem>

It was bug in VirtualBox.
After upgrade from 4.3.12 to 4.3.22 it was fixed. Probably bug was in VirtualBox 4.3.12 or 4.3.10.

You can close this ticket, thanks!
