Hi, I have access to Xen at work (and will continue to do so - we intend to use and offer FreeBSD in our „Cloud“-platform (Apache CloudStack). AFAIK, we have no KVM. Just Xen. Unfortunately, I’ve got little time currently, but I will try to get a VM where I can run this during the next week. I will also collect the hardware-details of the host (AFAIK, we’ve got HP DL380G8 servers with lots of RAM and two CPUs).
