Great, thanks =85 now some questions / clarifications =85 First, am running both 9.x Guest and Host, so kern.hz is apparently = auto-detected, so I'm covered there =85=20 Second, bridged adapter =85 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) =85 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 =85 is this how that issue = manifests itself? Or would those be unrelated? Finally, storage controller =85 again, running 9.x Host / Guest =85 my = devices are coming up as /dev/ada0 =85 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 =85 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 =85 And what about Controller? the Tuning = guide doesn't make any recommendations in that regard =85=20 Thanks ...
