[VBox-users] stability of virtualbox 3.2 and Linux EXT4

2010-12-03 Thread Geoff Nordli
I am planning on using vbox to run some production level servers which at
some point will be under heavy load.   

 

Is anyone using EXT4 as a file system to house the vdi files?

 

As a safeguard, vbox automatically disables the Host IO cache, but I am
wondering what the general experience is out there.

 

Thanks,

 

Geoff

FWIW I've been running an XP 32-bit guest on an openSUSE 11.3 64-bit
host with EXT4 for quite a while now and have had no problems. I'm using
the IDE Controller (PIIX3) and have the host IO cache enabled. BUT, the
system is not a production system and is in no way under any sort of
load, so this is no guarantee.
