I search online and read some post saying that seemingly a user can mount virtualbox disk to ramdisk so that i/o can be speed up. However, when trying to mount vdi to ramdisk, I encounter some problems.
I create a virtualbox server as normal steps.
Then I create a dir and mount it as ramdisk with following command
Code:
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G /path/to/vbox/server
However, when starting the server it throws error
Code:
Runtime error opening '~/VirtualBox VMs/server/server.vbox' for reading: -102 (File not found.).
/build/buildd-virtualbox_4.1.4-dfsg-1-i386-f9UKjT/virtualbox-4.1.4-dfsg/src/VBox/Main/src-server/MachineImpl.cpp[685] (nsresult Machine::registeredInit()).
Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
VirtualBox
Interface:
IVirtualBox {c28be65f-1a8f-43b4-81f1-eb60cb516e66}
After googling I can not find threads discussing how to do that. Or similar error being solved. What keyword should I use? Or what is the correct step to mount vbox disk to ramdisk for speeding up i/o?
Thanks
