![]() to the point where the only posts I get back are my own ones on this forum and the virtual box one. so if that happens I'm totally screwed.anyway I digress. and these hard reboots have a tendency to corrupt the usb stick and i need to re-image and restore the config. I'm nervous to test it too much as I'm not home and won't be till the end of july. Somehow this all comes back to iTunes being the culprit. So far today I'm running windows 7, ubuntu and pfsense in virtual box and i've not had a single problem BUT i've not opened iTunes. and as far as i can tell only when I'm running iTunes in my VM. I made a post earlier with the CPU PARITY errors. I've even got my freenas db backing up daily to my spool (thanks for that script), scrubs scheduled monthly, and snapshots set up with appropriate expiry dates. even though I've followed your advice as far as I can tell. Well thank you! I was nervous that you were going to destroy my set up there. Is anyone able to shed some light on this? My Virtualbox is also running pfsense also using VIMAGE stack and seems to be stable and working without problems. as it is quite an important server and i've not tried installing word. that has been my main objective so I'm not sure how often windows does/would/will crash if I'm not just using iTunes. on my n40L the jails were located on a single spinning disk formatted with ZFS.Īs I'm trying to get windows to run iTunes. ALL hardware virtualisation, including VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging, Large Pages, VT-x unrestricted execution and VT-x VPID (Intel only)ģ) The vdi file location: 1) on SSD formatted to ZFS and mounted in the jail 2) within the jail itself which is on a ZFS pool consisting of a SSD mirror. I have tried the following things and nothing seems to work.ġ) new windows installs - i've tried about 6 including 32bit and 64bitĢ) enabling and disabling. all 3 have this error that causes an aborted machine.Ġ8:40:37.934868 AIOMgr: I/O manager 0x00000808ff9920 encountered a critical error (rc=VERR_FILE_AIO_NO_REQUEST) during operation. Someone has said that this could be due to an incomplete shutdown of a VIMAGE stack! The slightly worrying thing is that at any point - after windows has hung my entire freenas machine can just reboot! most often it occurs when disabling the jail. At this point my only options are to disable the virtual box jail and re-enable it in the freenas GUI. If i try ACPI shutdown or Reset then the machines starts to shutdown but the progress indicator gets stuck at 28% in the virtual box GUI. sometimes this goes to an aborted state in virtual box GUI but not always. ![]() Basically at some point, often/always when using iTunes the Windows guest crashes. Windows 7 as a VM in Virtualbox seems to be highly unstable, especially when doing anything with iTunes. ![]() For this reasons I want to run my VMs on my new xeon machine! The problem is that 1) this machine is very slow, it works but it is slow 2) it is a test-bed system so I don't want to depend on it. My n40L works flawlessly, in this set up and I had windows running absolutely fine as a VM in a virtual box jail and playing music. My goal is to run windows 7 as a VM with iTunes to serve music to a bunch of airport expresses that i have in the house. Freenas now comes with a virtual box template version 4.3.10_OSE which I have been experimenting with. I'm running freenas, the latest beta 9.2.1.6 on both an HP n40L and a new build xeon E3 1220 V3 with a super micro X10SL7-F mobo, 16gb ECC ram. I'm new to virtual box, and this is my first post! I've made comments about this before but now I have a bit more info. So I hope its ok that I'm putting it here. DISCLAIMER: I posted this thread on the virtual box forums and basically got told to take a hike.
