I'm using a virtualized OsX Server into a physical Hp server (Server A) through VirtualBox. Because i don't have free space in my HP Server, i've created a VDI into a second Nas Storage Server (Server B) and i've mounted this VDI into my OsX server using CIFS/Samba.

I'm wondering are there any drawback using with this solutions ? Is the file access, file operations (like copy moving etc.) more limited compared to a 'simpler' solutions like use only Server A ? How to improove this situations ? Maybe mounting Server B into Server A with iSCSI o fibre channel ? Thanks

  • if you can use nfs over cifs, more performant typically.

  • I'm intrigued because I've never heard of OsX. Do you by any chance mean OS X?

the only limitation is going to be performance. any other potential problems will all have performance as a root cause.
