Hi Geoff. You can force vbox to flush the disk properly. VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/ahci/0/LUN#[x]/Config/IgnoreFlush" 0 Vbox has some nice features and is the core foundation for Oracle's VDI solution, which is built on top of Solaris. I don't know if I would use it for a heavy server workload (still determining this), but for regular server workloads, it has performed well for me. Vbox has a new crossbow network stack, but it only works on Solaris 11 builds >= 159. I am not sure what it would take to make it work properly with OI, but that would be nice.
