I am running an OpenIndiana 151a host that shares files via NFS to my local VirtualBox VM's. It seems to max out around 1MB/s. This is killing the performance of compiles, etc. But due to the amount of source and the lack of disk space on my laptop, it is not realistic to have redundant copies of my source and builds in each VM.
The VM's are configured with 2 NIC's. One is NAT'd for Internet access and the other is host-only so that they can communicate between themselves. I am using an entry in the VM's /etc/hosts to automount NFS via the host-only interface and the performance is horrible. After googling, I know there is an issue with network contention when running bridged-mode with VirtualBox VM's and NFS on the same interface and this can be worked around given two NIC's. But, that doesn't seem to be exactly the same as my problem nor does it provide workable solutions for my situation. If anyone has any ideas or a suggestion of a better forum for this question I am open to input.
