I am wondering if the issue was fixed in 8.1. I have commented out the modules for now. I am a little nervous about file system corruption from hard crash/reboots. I can set up a jail for my FreeBSD sandbox. However, my server is the only viable i386 environment that I have to play with other OS's like Linux, so I would like to still use vbox if I can be confident it is stable because this server is a production machine. All my other boxes are Apple machines. Regards, Chris Maness
