      Interesting, I’m not too sure what could be causing that, but if I had to take a guess VirtualBox’s UEFI implementation doesn’t allow for writes from the VM, at least by default. It’s been a long time since I’ve used VirtualBox (since before UEFI was even really a thing), I don’t suppose there’s any sort of setting that might resemble making it writable?

        My version of VirtualBox is a few years old so I wouldn’t be surprised if it was lacking some features.

          If you’re using UEFI in VB, definitely update to the latest version. UEFI support in older VB was pretty bad. Works a lot better now, though I haven’t had time to test this new version of Vanilla OS, so YMMV.
