I'll check this ;)
Virtio is a paravirtual driver that allows you to run network at higher speed inside a VirtualBox.
Instead of emulating a real network card, you can instruct VirtualBox to use virtio and the VM
will use that driver. I tested on a Linux VM (that has virtio as default) and it performs almost 10
times faster.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it!
Gabriele.

Hi
first I do not know what virtio is, but, if you download the source it compiles fine inside openindiana oi_151a
just :
sudo pkg install pkg:/SUNWonbld
and do a gmake inside the three folders.
After that I do not know, how to make it work. ;-(

Hi, I've seen a virtio conversion for IllumOS here: https://github.com/xl0/illumos-virtio
compiling sources is based on onbld, so I was looking for a precompiled binary.
Where can I find it? Is it safe to use it already? Will it work on OpenIndiana?
Gabriele.
