I decided to wipe my system and reinstall Kubuntu dualbooted with Windows today. The goal, since the intention of this pc build was virtualization, was to containerize my main NVME (1tb) into 3 sections:
-nvme0n1p1 - 100gb --- /
-nvme0n1p2 - 200gb --- /home (encrypted)
-nvme0n1p3 - ~670gb --- /vmlib (virtual machine library for vm disks)
The point of the /vmlib partition is to separate my vulnhub lab as much as possible from my machine. Everything works like a charm except for the fact that when I installed parrot onto a vm, the update process was slow... like really slow... I left my computer for about 30 minutes and it only went up about 5%. The download went smooth until the unpacking process.
I figure it has something to do with the vmdisk being on a separate partition from my virtualbox install, and that virtualbox is running on an encrypted home directory on top of that. I just don't know how to circumvent that with my current setup.
Is there a way to install virtualbox on /vmlib? I tried with
$sudo dpkg -i virtualb..._amd64.deb /vmlib/vbox
but I got an error back that /vmlib/vbox is not a regular file..
I can live with slow vm's.. but I'd rather not. Any help is appreciated.
(Edit) Also it seems my Kubuntu install is lagging a bit as well. Not nearly to the extent of Parrot, but I have noticed that when I hit enter on the shell, it hangs for a split second before diplaying a fresh user@localhost$. Just in case that's useful in any way
