Old description:
VirtualBox: 5.2.18\\
Host system: archlinux (8 GB RAM, 4 "cores")\\
Guest: Haiku 64bit (2 GB RAM, 2 CPUs, NAT with virtio-net), at the moment
at hrev52302
Quite often (most of the time, already after booting to the desktop) the
speed of the network connection drops suddenly (from ~ 4 MiB/s to below 1
KiB/s).
If this happens, the network speed is so slow that even SoftwareUpdater
can't always validate the checksums of the repositories but times out.
WebPositive can't show the Haiku homepage. Vision can't connect to
freenode.
Around the same time, the following messages start to appear in syslog
and serial log:
{{{
[33mvirtio_net:[0m ioctl: unknown message 22dd
}}}
Followed by hundreds of:
{{{
Last message repeated 16 times.
}}}
If I'm especially lucky, the speed increases again after a while to up to
6 KiB/s and I can try to clone haikuports from github which then often
ends after 30 min with
{{{
error: RPC failed; curl 18 transfer closed with outstanding read data
remaining
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed
}}}
