bhyve What did you do in FreeBSD today?

[freebuser]

Not sure if this topic is already covered, a quick search didn't bring up any.

Just wanted to capture anything you did today in your FreeBSD server/desktop which may help you/others in the future.

To start with me, after receiving my USB3.0 PCI-e purchase, I have started converting Windows 10 VirtualBox VMs to bhyve VMs.

bhyve -c 1 -m 10G -H -w -S -s 0,hostbridge \
-s 4,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/backup/windows_10 \
-s 5,virtio-net,tap10 -s 7,passthru,2/0/0 \
-s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5900,w=1920,h=1200,wait \
-s 30,xhci,tablet -s 31,lpc -l com1,stdio -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI.fd \
win10

So far I was able to start Windows 10 with USB detected. I have one program running in Windows 10 in VBox which I can't stop until a good break to keep the business going.

So hoping to make the full transition over the coming holidays.

Trying to find the best backup solution (for me/my T430).

Using ZFS and so far the best approach I found is:

Make a snapshot, send it to another disk but compress with gzip between send & recv.

Something like:

zfs send zroot/ROOT/default@2022-11-26-14:09:19-0 | gzip --blah --blah | zfs recv zbkp/backp/blah.zfs.gz
