Great, thanks now some questions / clarifications First, am running both 9.x Guest and Host, so kern.hz is apparently auto-detected, so I'm covered there Second, bridged adapter I just read http://people.freebsd.org/~julian/netgraph.html, and checking kldstat, it looks like netgraph is auto-loaded (I didn't compile it into the kernel, or add it to /boot/loader.conf) so it isn't 'if' I use netgraph, but bridged networking automatically requires netgraph? I've been getting weird behaviour with my virtual box, in that if I try and copy a bunch of data in (ie. rsync a 'template' from outside of virtual box into virtual box), after awhile, I'll get the whole server to stop processing packets for 5 minutes (sometimes more, sometimes less) and then it suddenly just starts processing again is this how that issue manifests itself? Or would those be unrelated? Finally, storage controller again, running 9.x Host / Guest my devices are coming up as /dev/ada0 but showvminfo shows me running an IDE controller: Storage Controller Name (0): IDE Controller Storage Controller Type (0): PIIX4 Storage Controller Instance Number (0): 0 Storage Controller Max Port Count (0): 2 Storage Controller Port Count (0): 2 Storage Controller Bootable (0): on According to the docs for storagectl, my options are: [--add <ide/sata/scsi/floppy>] [--controller <LsiLogic|LSILogicSAS|BusLogic| IntelAhci|PIIX3|PIIX4|ICH6|I82078>] So, SATA better then IDE SCSI better (or worse?) then SATA? I tend to have a bias towards SCSI, not even sure why I went IDE when I first started using VirtualBox And what about Controller? the Tuning guide doesn't make any recommendations in that regard Thanks ...
