Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro
What is VirtualBox?
So, I got bored while laundry was going... and decided to see how well a virtual OS would run on the Pro. My first choice of VM was VirtualBox, just cause I'm familiar with it after using it for ages, plus its open and free :) Eventually, I may look into VMWare as well.
After a bit of messing around, got it installed. Since the system is based off of Debian, was easy to get VirtualBox itself there (deb package). The trickiest part was getting the kernel modules required installed (see end of post).
In the end, I've got Windows 2003 R2 running on my Pro, interacting with it via RDP, and I am happy with the performance. I've added an extra 1GB memory (for a total of 2GB). I assigned 1GB of ram to my virtual OS, which still leaves the default configuration of 1GB for the NAS itself (which is more than enough still, 800MB+ is always cached).
I made a 10GB virtual disk to install the OS on. If I need more space later for extra applications, I can just add another virtual drive to that installation. And since I always like a bit extra security, I went a bit beyond the usual, and also have TrueCrypt running full disk encryption in the virtual OS. So no one can even boot and read the data in that OS without my bootup password.
I don't really have any screenshots to show, just a standard Windows installation. Here is a few of the steps I used while creating the VM on the console:
VirtualBox 3.1 has changed the CLI configuration. Until I update this how-to, please reference this: http://www.uhleeka.com/blog/2009/12/vir ... 9-04-host/
With the OS booted up and just sitting at the desktop, top reports:
Ad-hoc installation of VirtualBox. Should work for RAIDiator 4.2.4. Download links for the kernel modules, for those who don't want to go through the mess of compiling them.

And you followed chirpas quick install in the first post?
I'm getting quite alot of dependency-problems when running the apt-get install command:
Im running 4.2.3 release. However... if do a ls in the /lib/modules, I have a folder called 2.6.27.6.RNx86.1.1 and when I do a uname -r, I get 2.6.27.6.RNx86.1.2...something is not right here...

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).- did you do an apt-get update before ?
super-poussin wrote: did you do an apt-get update before ?
Yes, I did. I followed chirpas "install-guide" to the letter.
What FW-release are you using?- Here's my kernel:
Prometheus:~# uname -r
2.6.27.6.RNx86.2.1
Try updating to 4.2.4, as I was not successful using one of the 4.2.4 betas (T38), I think.
When I tried running the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start command, I got an error:Prometheus:~# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
Starting VirtualBox kernel module:
* No suitable module for running kernel found
chirpa then told me to try the following:Prometheus:/lib/modules/2.6.27.6.RNx86.2.1/misc# insmod vboxdrv.ko
Prometheus:/lib/modules/2.6.27.6.RNx86.2.1/misc# insmod vboxnetflt.ko

Prometheus:/lib/modules/2.6.27.6.RNx86.2.1/misc# - Hmmm...looks like my dependencies does not install. I'm not a apt-get-master, but maybe someone on the community knows? apt-get have always worked great on my different linux-boxes I've been using. How does your /etc/apt/sources.list look like?
- OK I found the problem.
I had a few dependencies connected to squeeze-center. once I resolved those with apt-get -f install, Virtualbox installaed fine.
So: Dont have any unsolved dependencies before trying to install VB.
