I have Arch64 guest on Win7 host. Main problem is: it mostly takes 2-5 seconds to rewrite a 100kb file residing on the guest's samba share. I also tried to upload and download the files between host and guest and the speed is unstable.
Surprisingly, running this shell command on guest in background workarounds the problem:
Code: Select all
for ((i=0;;i++)); do : ; done
Code: Select all
- The version of VirtualBox you are using, and whether you have installed the Guest Additions (in the guest).
5.2.8 r121009 / no additions
- Host & Guest make and version including 32 or 64 bit, and the amount of memory available to both.
