#bhyve ALERT!

Hans R has made excellent progress porting the 0xide bhyve CPU ID code to #FreeBSD and gave a demo on today's call, which I hope to have posted within the day.

While we are discussing formal fundraising, PLEASE consider support him directly via PayPal at rosenfeld AT grumpf.hope-2000.org

This is the foundation for live migration work and hand-crafted virtual hardware.

THIS IS YEARS OVERDUE

THANK YOU HANS! Danke!

Hi #freebsd friends, is it possible to make a raw copy of a hard drive under Linux (with dd) and run it in #bhyve?
I have a service running under an old Linux on a very old machine and I'm trying to back it up before the machine dies.
Thanks for your answers :)
RT appreciated.

I wonder how far I can push a #FreeBSD#bhyve truncate(1) file used for storage with a guest? Probably a host #ZFS limitation but I know VMware VMFS-5 taps out at 62 TB and they lock NFS down to that for consistency
