Very slow shared folders. Unusable. Windows 7 host
Posted: 19. Feb 2011, 10:27
I installed Arch linux with apache and myasql in virtualbox. Host machine is Windows 7. I need an apache server for web development, so I set up shared folders between host and guest OS. Cause I program in windows I want to be able to see changes I made in the code fast. But It takes like 3mins for the site to load cause apache has to access files on Windows in shared folder. I have been googleing 16hours yesterday and couldn't find a solution to my problem. The only thing I didn't try yet is to give up shared folders and tried using samba instead. I would post some config and log files that would help but dont know wich ones or where to find them. Virtualbox is new to me. Can you please help me out. I need this asap for work. If someone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
