If I set the disks to SATA, doing something simple like an SVN checkout causes all sorts of disk errors and then a panic. If I instead set the controller to just IDE, all is OK. What is the optimal chipset and driver config for FreeBSD as a host and guest ? For me, leaving everything at the default was best. I don't know if it affects performance. ___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

What is the optimal chipset and driver config for FreeBSD as a host and guest ? Defaults should be preferred and you should try to avoid ICH9. I was told from upstream that ich9 is still not the default because it just doesn't work reliable enough in all cases. So be carefull with that. ___ freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-emulation To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-emulation-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
