To: vbox-announce at virtualbox.org


Hi,

today Oracle released VirtualBox 3.2.6, a maintenance release of
VirtualBox 3.2 which improves stability and fixes regressions.

This release introduces a check for the file system where the disk
images are installed and automatically enables the VM host I/O cache
if an ext4 filesystem or an xfs filesystem is detected. The purpose
of this check is to work around a bug in the Linux kernel which can
lead to data corruption under certain circumstances. Only Linux hosts
are affected.

See the Changelog at

 http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

for a complete list of all changes. You can download the binaries
here:

Kind regards,

Frank
