  1. Yes, I recognize that maybe I'm being a bit over-zealous with that, I know that at least while having phpVirtualBox page open (even if you leave the page open alone, I did it and in some 1h maybe the log got with near 1MB size) the log gets written every few seconds... but yes if you don't browse it very often then it should not be a problem. Anyway I just didn't liked it and found weird that we can't disable the log with the --logfile param. Another thing, not related, I did found that with the lainie package and instructions on this thread (as far as I can find it), no symlink is created for /root/VirtualBox\ VMs to store it on the pen, then vm configs get lost after system restart, despite they get listed as list seems to be on .VirtualBox (that is actually symlinked), we can workaround that on our do file anyway as I did above. Just a question, do you think it's ok to store vm hdd images on the unraid array? I'm currently doing it, as I have no cache/spare drive currently, and so far it seems to work very well. Thanks lainie for the packages and all the others that contributed with instructions to make this work easily.
  2. did you noticed that there is log file being frequently written at /boot/custom/vbox/vboxwebsrv.log (symlinked from /root/.VirtualBox/) mainly when having phpVirtualBox page open, also there is another log file but a lot less writes on it apparently, I'm afraid this may wear my pen? I did already tried to remove that symlink, create a dir and just symlink the important files (excl. the logs) to the /boot/... but not ok as it apparently renames the xml when doing changes on the vm to a -prev as backup and creates a new file, then the symlink doesn't work... I did tried to run vboxwebsrv with --logfile /dev/null, or without --logfile param at all but the log file always get's created... any idea to get rid of it? for now my workaround to stop it was to change my go file to this: #VirtualBox installpkg /boot/packages/vbox-4.1.20-unRAID-3.4.11.tgz rm /root/.VirtualBox mkdir /root/.VirtualBox cp -r /boot/custom/vbox/* /root/.VirtualBox/ mkdir /root/VirtualBox\ VMs cp -r /boot/custom/vbox_vms/* /root/VirtualBox\ VMs/ VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null VBoxManage extpack install /boot/packages/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.20-80170.vbox-extpack vboxwebsrv -b -H 127.0.0.1 --logfile /dev/null --logrotate 0 >/dev/null and did created a vboxsave.sh script with: cp -r /root/.VirtualBox/* /boot/custom/vbox/ cp -r /root/VirtualBox\ VMs/* /boot/custom/vbox_vms/ then I need to use my vboxsave.sh script after doing changes on virtualbox settings, adding vm's, etc... to make them permanent, not a perfect solution but at least my pen doesn't constantly blink anymore
