VMWare/Virtualbox virtio network drivers?

Hi all, Am wondering if anyone has done drivers the these sorts of network interfaces that are offered by VMWare Virtual box. I know that on some Linux VMs I run, performance went from 20MB/s to 30MB/s to an NFS server which I swicthed to the virtio network interfaces. Stephen

Did you try 'disklabel -w da0 auto'? Yup - it also complained. No, it would cause a higher I/O load. Vinum doesn't transfer entire stripes, it transfers what you ask for. With a large stripe size, the chances are higher that you can perform the transfer with only a single I/O. Even
