Hi!I tried the following methods for sharing folders between a Linux host and a Windows XP guest:
1. Shared folders This works, but it is rather unstable. After a few minutes, Windows XP just crashes with a blue screen of death. I can reproduce it, but the crash appears to be just random. Otherwise, the performance of shared folders seems to be just right, but local filesystem access (i.e. NTFS in a disk image) is about 2 times faster. 2. Samba server on the Linux guest This works, but since the emulated AMD PCnet card supports only 10 Mbps, this is terribly slow. Since I need a realtime solution, this doesn't work for me. 3. Mounting the filesystem directly under Windows XP This doesn't work, because Windows XP doesn't have read-write reiserfs support, not even with third party add-ons. Migrating from reiserfs to ext2 is not an option for me, because I have more than 1 TB of data on reiserfs. 4. Using scp. This is also terribly slow, because the network card VirtualBox emulates supports only 10 Mbps. This is not an option, because I don't want to copy files, but I'd like to share filesystems, so Windows XP applications would be able to read a multi-gigabyte file on the Linux host, and generate another multi-gigabyte output file back onto the filesystem on the Linux host. Have I missed a working solution?
