You do know that OpenSolaris + VirtualBox can trash your ZFS raid? You can loose your data. There is a post about write cache and ZFS and VirtualbBox, I think you need to disable it? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing l

This actually turned out be a lot of fun! The end of it is that I have a hard disk partition now which can boot in both physical and virtual world (got rid of the VDIs finally!). The physical world has outstanding performance but has ugly graphics (1600x1200 vesa driver with weird DPI and fonts.
