Virtual machines gimped by Mac ZFS
Posted: Wed Sep 01, 2021 11:08 amI have a mirrored pair of regular SATA drives in a thunderbolt enclosure under Mojave. I try to run virtual machines from them. Machines that may run under Virtualbox or VMWare Fusion. They run like elderly turtles with arthritis. Copying outside the virtual machine seems fine. It's that there's some interaction between the virtual machine environment and Mac ZFS that seems to be gimping them.
