Hi John I haven't seen this myself but some help may be found here at the bottom: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/99609816/m/601006930931 /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 26-06-2009 23:30 >>> I run Accuzip (address validation software) in a VMWare virtual machine. There are two different problems I am encountering. The first is that if Accuzip is still running after the validation (and it is unless I specifically shut it down) I can copy but cannot delete the output files. Shutting down Accuzip causes the delete to work (after I copy them off of the VM). My guess is this is an issue specifically with Accuzip, not releasing a pointer to the output files or something like that. The other problem OTOH is that the copy to another machine (even if Accuzip is closed) is dog slow, the "time remaining" literally climbs up to 200 minutes and then stops even telling me how long. If I shut down the VM and restart it, I can do normal and very fast copies. Does anyone here know how to see what a bottleneck like this might be? Has anyone ever experienced extremely slow copies to/from a vm that was "fixed" by restarting the VM? -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
