Couple things to think about.  Virtualbox by default doesn't obey flush

a changing the default for any ZFS VM, and probably any VM doing DB
operations unless speed is more of a priority than data integrity.

The other thing to keep in mind is i386 binaries use less RAM than their
amd64 counter parts.  For this reason, I always make my VM's 32 bit to
achieve higher VM density.  I have not had trouble with ZFS on i385 with
1GB+ of RAM when following the recommended tuning, but I haven't used a
heavily used them either.

I prefer to use the MFSBSD ZFS v28 i386 iso for the install.


Thanks for the recommendation, but I have all the workers of the amd64 and tests in the i386, with its restrictions did not see the point. Now start the virtual machine to 150MB RAM, FreeBSD 8.2-CURRENT amd64 on ZFS.
