Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro

Very nice. Most things are working. One typo in the instructions. Where you have the command to softlink the httpd.conf you need to include the path to the source file. Only other thing I can't figure out is how the heck the fsniper config ever worked for you. As far as i can tell it really doesn't handle having two targets for the same directory. If I drop a .7z file into backup/images it gets unpacked, but the output .vdi file never gets moved. So I created a backup/downloads and changed the directory name on the first rule. I also had to change some of the uncompress commands to specify an output directory. After that it works fine. Should come in handy for other things.

Some ubuntu server tips: If you use an ubuntu image from the internet you need to get the vbox mac address to match what is in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or you won't have a network. Also, if your keyboard doesn't match what was configured in the ubuntu image find the hyphen :-) and use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" to get it corrected.

Two minor problems. For some reason I can't do an ACPI shutdown. I get an error in the phpvboxconnector script. Second thing is that I need to figure out how to get the ubuntu/vbox network set up correctly. I've only tried nat and that doesn't leave inbound connections as far as I can tell, but I think that is expected.

thanks MattyShack!!!!
