Hi I have a ubuntu 9.04 box, which is hosting a virtual windows 7.
Windows 7 has a media server called tversity which transcodes media files and sends them over the network. The processing power of the box is limmited so I want to optimise things as much as possible, keep the CPU load down, keep the disk read speed up. The partitions go something like this my ext3 parittions has ubuntu 9.04, and the install of vbox. Now this is where my question lyes..... 1 Do I put my media files on a separate physical NTFS partition? and share this partition with vbox?.... (about to try this) 2 Do i put my media files on ext3 and share this partition with vbox? (don't know if this is possible). 3 DO I put my media files inside the virtual drive file (in ntfs). (tried this). I've tried 3, and it works ok, just wondering if it would work better if i tried option 1? So would virtual windows 7 be happier processing files directly from an NTFS partition outside the virtual machine, or process files from within the virtual machine's virtual hard drive? If nobody knows maybe i'll test it myself and report back... but it would eb better if somebody knew save me messing about with science.... Thanks.
