I do what you are doing and currently I have 5 vdi's without any trouble. So I guess we should be ok.<br><br>

<div>I'm a developer and I'd like to create a number of VDI's/drives for various versions of tools I use; Db2 version x, version x + 1, Oracle 10, 11, various versions of application servers, etc. Ideally I'd like to have just that one thing on each VDI, then I can attach whatever versions of things I need for a particular programming job (my company does banking/financial software, so we need to try to use what the banks already have installed and their versions of stuff are all over the place).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So... my question really was, if I have a bunch of VDIs with all this stuff, is there any practical limit to how many I can hang off the virtual SATA controller at a time? I'm up to 4 right now (/dev/sda through /dev/sdd) and it's working, but if I split this stuff up like I want, I might get up to 8 or so.</div>

<div>Thanks
