Hi, I created a Windows VM with vm-bhyve, this VM has two disks, one a raw image configured as "ahci-hd" and the 2nd is a zvol. As I noticed that 2nd disk (disk D: in the Windows vm) is painfully slow, and hangs the VM. I stopped it and I'm converting to raw with this command: dd...

I understand VMM is tightly coupled with Bhyve, but for an experiment I wanted to get a small real mode program running using only vmm (a replica of nvmm). This was my best attempt. I made sure to set the segment registers appropriately, but gdb tells me I'm calling vm_run improperly. Any help...

Hi, I'm virtualising my Linux development environment for $DAY_JOB using bhyve, vm-bhyve, and NAT. I expose files on the guest to the host using NFS, and edit those files on the host. Networking is via NAT on either Ethernet (on my desktop), or Wi-Fi (on my laptop). It's the latter that's...

I tried switching from virtualbox to bhyve (using vm-bhyve) for running a windows 10 vm and everything worked fine including audio input & output, good disk transfer and network speeds with virtio devices, etc. However, I could not manage to get the same performance that I get in virtualbox...

Hi, I'd like to share my experience with folder sharing to a VM via virtio-9p. I've tried to use it on a home server: Host: FreeBSD 14.2 with vm-bhyve Guest: Debian 12.9 The guest runs a Lyrion music server and the music files are on the host in a ZFS dataset. So my idea was to use virtio-9p...

Hello. Bhyve Host: FreeBSD 14.1 Guest: FreeBSD 14.2 (kernel built with "device virtio_gpu") What needs to be done to have a virtual GPU appear inside the guest on FreeBSD 14.2? Judging by this diagram, you need to install the virglrenderer package on the host. As a guest, as I understand it...

Hello. Host: FreeBSD 14.1 bhyve guest: FreeBSD 14.1 How is it possible to mount a directory via 9p protocol in a freebsd guest? I'm using the vm-bhyve wrapper. The official vm-bhyve documentation says: VM guest conf: disk1_type="virtio-9p" disk1_name="cache=/var/cache/pkg/" disk1_dev="custom"...

Hope it can help some people in the same case. https://yom.iaelu.net/2024/12/gitlab-runner-bhyve-executor/

Hello, I am trying to create a Windows VM but I need to boot from my own file. Originally I had it in VHDX format, but using qemu-img I now have it in .img and .vhd formats as well. I managed to create a virtual machine which booted with the help of cbsd and this video FreeBSD: Bhyve with UEFI...

Anyone having luck getting AlmaLinux 9.5 to run under bhyve on FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 using vm-bhyve 1.6? I had a 9.4 instance running fine (installed as a 9.3 about a year ago with a number of dnf upgrades in that time). Last upgrade was to go from 9.4 to 9.5 and that stopped working about a...

Hello all! I have set up the following environment: vmrun.sh -d disk.img -t tap0 -G 1234 thevm Then I have moved to where I have the kernel compiled and ran gdb from there. In the VM, I have also run dtrace -n 'fbt:kernel:vtnet_tick:entry' And I can see that it fires regularly. The...

I came across this line on the wiki for Windows on bhyve, which I apparently forgot somewhere along the way... From https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows: Can somebody clarify the reason for this, and what the the failure mode looks like--what can occur if this rule is not followed? How...

Hi, I am setting up a very simple FreeBSD hypervisor in my homelab mainly for learning purpose as I am new to FreeBSD, Bhyve and ZFS. - The host is pretty small: 12Gb of RAM and 500Gb of disk - I opted for a very simple setup for now: ZFS with one disk and one zpool (zroot). - I use vm-bhyve -...

Hello, I am doing kernel development and would like to debug my version of the kernel. Can I do that with the help of debugger and bhyve, to run in a containerized environment? Thanks.

I understand that this might not be viewed very favorably, but I couldn't really find much about this. I read a few threads on this Forum about USB/IP but there doesn't seem to be much support for the protocol on BSD? I'm trying to create a VM to which most of my USB ports will be passed...
