'Member how I was kinda bragging about my FreeBSD NAS's 21-day uptime? Well, I attempted to reboot, just for the heck of it (because why not)...and some shit happened.

The reboot process took a while to stop PIDs, and I saw there was a "naspool has been suspended (uncorrectable I/O failure)" error printed to the console. About 40 minutes later it's still stuck. It appears to have hanged, so I had to do a hard reboot. I searched around on the web for this error and found some forum posts, but none of them seemed to have any doable solution. I've gathered that the common thread in some of the forum posts of this error is that it has to do with USB storage, and my naspool is connected via USB.

It booted back up, and the naspool seems fine, but for some reason bhyve doesn't work anymore. I have my web services in a bhyve Debian VM, so those are now (still) down. Bhyve was working before the reboot. When I run the bhyve command to launch the VM, it appears to boot but then it just stops and returns to the shell. No bhyve processes are running.

I suppose I can try reinstalling Debian in a QEMU VM, but I feel like bhyve /ought/ to work.

Today's learnings:

1) #bhyve on #FreeBSD is a lot more interesting and capable than I realized.
2) There's lots of sharp edges and surprises.
3) use nvme rather than virtio-blk on bhyve if your guests support it. It seems to be a lot more performant.
4) Information about pci passthrough is wildly inconsistent when you compare docs vs what tooling does vs what people say.
5) Trying to mix multiple less-commonly-used tech features into one project can be quite an adventure. eg: SR-IOV splitting one ethernet card -> many VFs -> many VMs. And throw in vlans for more footgun potential.

I don't know why I'm tired today.

Just flashed into my mind, I spent hours less on system maintenance since I switched from Linux and Proxmox to #freebsd and #bhyve

It is easy to install, it is up and running…. No memory leaks, no package conflicts, no nothing except steady performance and user (sysadmin) joys

Remarkable effort. Thanks

It continues in my article series: "FreeBSD as a server"

An important milestone that deals with the topic of #FreeBSD virtualisation with #BHYVE . FreeBSD has a fully-fledged virtualization that is ideally suited to starting other operating systems.

This also marks the start of a parallel series of articles on how best to install the various VMs.

I will get the chance to order an new Lenovo #ThinkPad notebook for my work. I would like to try #FreeBSD with #bhyve on it. What should my preferred components/manufactors (CPU, GPU, audio, LAN, WLAN, …)? I do not have a problem with an USB adapter for LAN and WLAN if the build-in component is not working. Any other things I should watch out for?

I’ve updated my usb-passthrough to #bhyve vm’s configuration on #FreeBSD. Recall bhyve does not support usb pass through, but #qemu does. I’ve created a super-lightweight Alpine #linux VM with qemu, passing through the usb devices I need elsewhere to that. Then I use USBIP to make the devices available via TCP to the bhyve VMs, which can then import them (at least on windows and Linux). The qemu VM uses little resources and is mostly invisible. It’s a hack - but a pretty nice one I think!
