--- Comment #5 from Joseph Mingrone <jrm at freebsd.org> ---
The sysctl aio tweaks improve the stability of VB running a Windows7 guest, but
heavy IO still caused a problem for me.  For example, I was able to get through
the Windows installation after making the sysctl changes, but later, during
installing of many Windows updates, Windows locks up and eventually a BSOD
appears with complaints about possible hardware issues.  This is running
virtualbox-ose-5.1.26 on 11.1-RELEASE-p1 amd64.

P.S. 30000 already is the default for vfs.aio.aiod_lifetime on all my systems
running 11.1.
