It is an ext4 filesystem on the guest linux drive. On the host side, it is a .vmdk file and the virtualization software used is virtualbox. While the drive is dynamically allocated, after I ran into this issue, I used fallocate to create a 50GB dummy file and then delete it to ensure that there was headroom in the drive and that dynamic allocation slowness was not the issue, and subsequent pushes were still slow. I have not experienced any filesystem slowness issues in the months I've been using this vm. I'm very linux knowledgeable, and becoming more git knowledgeable, so feel free to ask me questions as technical as you want.
