Great, thanks … now some questions / clarifications … First, am running both 9.x Guest and Host, so kern.hz is apparently auto-detected, so I'm covered there …
Second, bridged adapter … I just read http://people.freebsd.org/~julian/netgraph.html, and checking kldstat, it looks like netgraph is auto-loaded (I didn't compile it into the kernel, or add it to /boot/loader.conf) … so it isn't 'if' I use netgraph, but bridged networking automatically requires netgraph? I've been getting weird behaviour with my virtual box, in that if I try and copy a bunch of data in (ie. rsync a 'template' from outside of virtual box into virtual box), after awhile, I'll get the whole server to stop processing packets for 5 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less) and then it suddenly just starts processing again … is this how that issue manifests itself? Or would those be unrelated? Finally, storage controller … again, running 9.x Host / Guest … my devices are coming up as /dev/ada0 … but showvminfo shows me running an IDE controller: Storage Controller Name (0): IDE Controller Storage Controller Type (0): PIIX4 Storage Controller Instance Number (0): 0 Storage Controller Max Port Count (0): 2 Storage Controller Port Count (0): 2 Storage Controller Bootable (0): on According to the docs for storagectl, my options are: [--add <ide/sata/scsi/floppy>] [--controller <LsiLogic|LSILogicSAS|BusLogic| IntelAhci|PIIX3|PIIX4|ICH6|I82078>] So, SATA better then IDE … SCSI better (or worse?) then SATA? I tend to have a bias towards SCSI, not even sure why I went IDE when I first started using VirtualBox … And what about Controller? the Tuning guide doesn't make any recommendations in that regard … Thanks ...
