Volume sharing performance issues #593
Description
As of the 1.3 release, volume mounting seems to be working. The issue is that when attempting to share a large git repo (17k files) in to the container on boot2docker I am getting some crazy slow performance. Are there any workarounds or plans to address this issue?
The problem seems to point at VirtualBox Guest Additions when you have lots of small files - http://mitchellh.com/comparing-filesystem-performance-in-virtual-machines
Maybe NFS shared folders could be used somehow? Or maybe VirtualBox people are working on fixing the performance issues?
