How to use a physical disk in a VirtualBox virtual machine?
Good day! The story is this, there is a windows server 2012 and VirtualBox installed on it with Centos 7, from Centos you need to access the physical disk.
How to do it?
At the moment, I see this physical disk, but I can’t mount it, when I try, I get this
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb2 /media/
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Failed to mount '/dev/sdb2': Операция не позволена
The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

Remove the disk in Windows (safely remove or something like that), then hook it to the vbox, and then mount it.
Well, or mount -o ro -t ntfs-3g and so on.
NTFS is not a clustered file system, it must be mounted on a single system. If you need simultaneous access from a virtual machine and from Windows - share the disk in Windows, connect it over the network in Linux, like cifs
This happens when the kernel hibernation feature is enabled in Windows.
Somewhere in the power settings it is signed as a quick turn on or something like that.
When using this feature, Windows does not completely turn off, and in connection with this, such a thing happens with the disk.
