Hi, all,
we are just starting a project that will run a couple
of Ubuntu guests on top of bhyve instead of ESXi
that we used in the past.
As far as I could find out, more or less all bhyve
manager/wrapper tools use zvols as the backing
store for "raw" guest disk images.
I looked at
* chyves
* iohyve
* vm-bhyve
So far so good. Yet, this blog article has some very
valid (IMHO) points against using them:
http://jrs-s.net/2016/06/16/psa-snapshots-are-better-than-zvols
Another thing I'm pondering is: wouldn't it be better to
run on UFS so you can dedicate as much memory
as possible to VMs?
So I'm a bit puzzled now on what to do. Any opinions,
experiences, war stories to share?
Thanks
Patrick
