Virtualbox by default doesn't obey flush cache commands. This is potentially a very bad thing so you'll want to look a changing the default for any ZFS VM, and probably any VM doing DB operations unless speed is more of a priority than data integrity. The other thing to keep in mind is i386 binaries use less RAM than their amd64 counter parts. For this reason, I always make my VM's 32 bit to achieve higher VM density. I have not had trouble with ZFS on i385 with 1GB+ of RAM when following the recommended tuning, but I haven't used a heavily used them either. I prefer to use the MFSBSD ZFS v28 i386 iso for the install. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
