Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro

Apologies if this is elsewhere in the forum but does anyone have an up to date set of steps for installing VirtualBox on the PRO Pioneer? I'm not massively familiar with Linux so be gentle! Would make a very popular add-on or even something to consider as a built in feature of the ReadyNAS. Thanks in advance.

The guides have been posted already in this thread. Just go back a few pages and you'll find two or three very good, AND recent updated guides. Some issues may, or may not occur depending on your NAS firmware and/or conflicts between FW or VBox updates. But that said, if the FW is stable, and system in good condition, following the guide/s to a successful conclusion should be possible.

Just take your time, pick one of recent guides and follow it through. Make sure you have all backups up to date before proceeding anything.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

I've tinkered with my NAS so much, which would explain why I'm having problems. Most people's systems won't be like mine, I've installed all sorts of different things and that is why I am probably having issues. I've probably borked something that VBox requires and I am missing the reason for this failiure.
