Hi list, I'm running oi_151a3 with VirtualBox 4.1.12 and a number of VM's. My VM's include several Linux's of various vintages including an in-house "embedded" distribution and Windows 7.
It would be convenient to be able to share GB of data between my host and the various VM's instead of copying all of that around between the host and VM's. However the performance of NFS mounting something from the host into the VM's is painful. Compiles that should take a couple minutes take over 30 just to ./configure. I am painfully aware of the contention and performance issues related to OpenIndiana, VirtualBox and NFS but have no idea how to resolve them. Something in me screams there has to be a better way. My VM's have two NIC's configured. One is NAT to reach the local network. I can't bridge them. The other is host-only to communicate with the host and occasionally with other VM's. What is the best way to share data between an OI host and Linux/Windows VirtualBox VM's?
