Not that I know of. I've installed Firebird on more virtual than
physical machines, using Debian or Windows as OS and it works fine for

Have you noticed any change in I/O speed with virtual machines
(compared to 'real' machines)?
We moved some databases to a VM and observed some decrease in I/O
performance, but since both machine and disks are different I'm not
sure where the "problem" is. IIRC, this was gbak performance (Fb/2.1).
