Hi Michele,
Thank you for providing the links, I didn't know it could be done that way.
I have since recreated the two Trinity (Debian and Ubuntu) boxes, with
fixed sizes. I haven't yet noticed the occasional sluggishness, that was
with the expandable boxes. The fixed sized boxes were created using 40GB
each.
Although after upgrading everything - and again, it could be a result of
the fixed size, HPLIP seems to have suffered a role-reversal.
In the Trinity/Debian box, the printer did not configure automatically
as it did with the expandable box. With the expandable boxes, the HPLIP
Toolbox (GUI) would not launch in either, so I used hp-setup in a
Konsole window to configure the printer in the Ubuntu box.
This time around, hp-setup would not launch from a Konsole window in
either box, It reported it could not connect to any displays. So then I
tried the HPLIP Toolbox and that now launches successfully in both boxes
and was able to configure the printer in each.
I'll try these for a few days then will delete the original expandable
boxes. So far, I like what I'm seeing.

Thank you for this information. Will keep it in mind. I just checked the
sizes of the boxes created and each of them were only using 1/2 of the
allocated amount of space, but I just expanded them as the hard drive is
large. I could not find anything in the VB settings that would change it
from an expandable box to fixed, once one is created, but this would be
a nice feature.
Hi Ed,
quick search in google returns this:
1) see command on first reply to original post
