Running VirtualBox 4.2.4 on a MacOS Lion and the BOA instance has 2 GB of RAM and Barracuda 2.04.
I have created a VM with Barracuda setup. I followed these guidelines:
I managed to mount the static directory for my users like this in the Vagrantfile.
config.vm.share_folder "platforms-o1", "/data/disk/o1/static", "~/workspace/platforms-o1", :extra => "dmode=755,fmode=755,gid=100,uid=110"
config.vm.share_folder "platforms-o2", "/data/disk/o2/static", "~/workspace/platforms-o2", :extra => "dmode=755,fmode=755,gid=100,uid=112"
config.vm.share_folder "platforms-o3", "/data/disk/o3/static", "~/workspace/platforms-o3", :extra => "dmode=755,fmode=755,gid=100,uid=113"The octopus aegir instances are quick an responsive when accessed through the browser. However, the sites themselves are really, really slow.
Here is an output of ressources used while loading the slow site:

One issue might be proper write permissions to files and private, as the permissions are like this:
Files directory
drwxr-xr-x 1 o2 users 1020 2012-11-21 11:48 files/Private directory
drwxr-xr-x 1 o2 users 136 2012-11-30 10:13 config/
drwxr-xr-x 1 o2 users 102 2012-11-20 01:17 files/
drwxr-xr-x 1 o2 users 102 2012-11-29 22:39 temp/Hower, I am not able to change it with:
chown o1:www-data directoryIt seems that it is because of the way VirtualBox handles mounted drives. However, I wanted to be able to easily edit the code for my sites. That is why I mounted the static directory.
But I also tried with site which was not on a mounted drive, and it was also really slow while the web interface for the octopus instances works well.

Use NFS to mount shared folders
It's not entirely clear from your post how you are mounting the directories you're sharing. But afaik vagrant uses NFS by default, and it doesn't look like there is proper mapping of your host user uid/gid to the users in the VM.
I have just set up something similar with aegir/vmware using nfs mounts, but not BOA.
Is this not proper
Is this not proper mapping?
config.vm.share_folder "platforms-o1", "/data/disk/o1/static", "~/workspace/platforms-o1", :extra => "dmode=755,fmode=755,gid=100,uid=110"config.vm.share_folder "platforms-o2", "/data/disk/o2/static", "~/workspace/platforms-o2", :extra => "dmode=755,fmode=755,gid=100,uid=112"
config.vm.share_folder "platforms-o3", "/data/disk/o3/static", "~/workspace/platforms-o3", :extra => "dmode=755,fmode=755,gid=100,uid=113"
What was you solution for doing the mounts?
That's vagrantfile syntax,
That's vagrantfile syntax, I've no idea whether that's right or not, I'm not using vagrant. I assume that gets used to write to /etc/exports on the host and /etc/fstab on the guest vm, what does it write?
vboxfs versus NFS
That sounds like it could be slow network mounts, although it's unclear why this issue would then affect the site which isn't on a mounted drive.
:nfs => trueis the flag you want to add to your share_folder lines to switch from VboxFS to NFS. I'd be interested to hear your results.If my comments have helped you, please pay it forward!
Use issue queues to discuss module issues - this will help your questions assist others (including yourself!) in future.
