Any truth to this? The context here is my stating that I'm getting
better performance out of Virtualbox in trying to trace down some I/O
related performance issues with VMWare Server. I do not have the same
I/O problems in Virtualbox, at least not in my limited testing. The
difference is actually pretty dramatic.The problem with the comparison VirtualBox comparison is that caching is known to be broken in VirtualBox (ignores cache flush, which, by continuing to cache, can "speed up" IO at the expense of data integrity or loss). This could be playing in your favor from a performance perspective, but puts your data at risk. Disabling disk caching altogether would be a bit hit on the Virtualbox side... Neither solution is ideal. --
