Debian LXDE Input/Output error with virtual machine on SSD connecting same SSD
Describe the issue
When a virtual machine is on an SSD, trying to connect the same SSD that the virtual machine is on, it will result in a Input/Output error. When this happens, the SSD is disconnected for a few seconds, and reconnects back. If a file was transferred before connection, the file would be deleted permanently, with no recovery unless it was copied. The virtual machine used was the Debian LXDE virtual machine provided on the UTM Gallery.
How to Reproduce
[!CAUTION] If you transferred a file to a drive and then too quickly connected the drive to the virtual machine, the transferred file will be deleted.
- Move a virtual machine to an external drive (can be anything, just make sure it's external)
- Create a shortcut to that virtual machine (double click the file)
- Startup the virtual machine from the drive
- Connect the external drive (same one that the virtual machine is on) and connect it to the virtual machine.
- See the Input/Output error appear.

- macOS Version: 14.0
- Mac Chip: M2
- SSD: Samsung T7 Shield 1TB
