I have change this in block_if.h and have some machines to just run windows and others to run just linux. Is a kind of fragmentation i don't like and if have some option to pass in bhyve specify the BLOCKIF_IOV_MAX, would be good. If not possible, create some option where if specify windows like guest, other value of BLOCKIF_IOV_MAX is used by bhyve in execution. _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
