Last night my 4.3.4 guests lost network connection.  I bumped to 4.3.6 
today and we'll see if it's more stable

That is good to know.

Just a note 4.3.6 was released and it fixed a regression:

Solaris hosts: fixed accessing the host driver from non-global zones 
(4.3 regression, bug #12271)

I don't know about oi_151a8, but on a7 I've just updated from VirtualBox 
4.1.x to 4.3.2 and subjectively it's noticeably snappier.


Cheers,

Hi,

well, i didn't measured anything, that is just my 'impression'...
And it behaves very stable (didn't had any kind of crash, since 4.2.8).

I have moved into '/hipster' repository (so, not production level at 
all) and since Hipster has often updates, do not take my statement as 
something serious (beside, I am running VB from my Desktop, so system 
might be more or less busy).


Sorry if my previous post caused confusion...
Best regards.

You have to carefully set RAM usage, otherwise system willswap.

Works well for me other than not being able to boot iPXE. 4.3 goes to
GURU meditation with iPXE. But it does it on all platforms. Windows and
Linux.

Hi Tyrrell.

Did you file a bug?

It would be good to keep an eye on it.

They have done a lot of work in the performance side with vbox, so it 
would be good to get it working.
