The benchmark creates thousands of small files, and then deletes them. The problem is that after all deletions are done (and no error is reported), the benchmark directory is not empty. Running the same benchmark on the same guest, but on a Linux native folder (VDI disk), the benchmark runs OK. No files left over. VirtualBox 4.0.6 (the problem also occurred on VirtualBox 4.0.4, I just hadn't reported it yet, sorry)[[BR]] Host: Windows XP Professional SP3[[BR]] Guest: Fedora 14 kernel 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686[[BR]] bonnie++-1.96-1.fc13.i686 Terminal session: {{{ # cd /media/sf_some_shared_folder # bonnie++ -u root -n 3 -s 0 Using uid:0, gid:0.

That said, as stated above the benchmark runs OK on native Linux guest disk instead of shared folder, so it seems the problem is not in bonnie++ code.[[BR]] - There's no error / no message appearing at VBox.log for the running VM right before, during or after the benchmark.
