Thanks for this awesome product. I've never seen any emulation product that integrates so well. It's almost like "Classic for Windows". Maybe I just missed it so far, but I am looking for one feature that is essential for me: I'd like to use native partitions, e.g. /dev/disk0s1 - those should be useable as "raw" disks. For example, I have a collection of hard disks which contain multiple partitions and operating systems, and I'd like to use those disks with Parallels, without the need for virtual files. Also, I guess this should improve disk performance, since no virtual disk file would be necessary - only 1 filesystem would be used instead of 2 (the real file system and the emulated file system inside the virtual disk). Please consider adding the option to use raw disks, e.g., /dev/disk0s1 - you could even make it an "advanced" option for people who know what they are doing.
should be very good as well for i/o performance, encapsulate filesystems level (linux fs into file over hfs fs) shouldn't be the best for performance Yoann
