Same here using mfsbsd from 11-RELEASE. First attempt I forgot to add swap - it killed the ssh I was using to issue a zfs send on the remote system. Next attempt I added swap, but ssh got killed too. Third attempt I used mfsbsd from 12-RELEASE. It succeeded. Now I am using mfsbsd 11-RELEASE

I suggest caution in raising vm.v_free_min, at least on 11.2-RELEASE systems with less RAM. I tried "65536" (256MB) on a 4GB mini-server, with vfs.zfs.arc_max of 2.5GB. Bad things happened when the cron daemon merely tried to run `periodic daily`. A few more details - ARC was mostly full,

Hi, Apart from the performance benefit as per the section for bhyve in the handbook, can the size of the zfs-backed guest: 1. be resized from the host? 2. does the guest need to be inactive? 3. can linux guests (or even windows ones) be resized as well? thanks, -- J. signature.asc

Another data point: I did the whole experiment with the latest 12-STABLE but for amd64 and everything builds fine without changes, and runs fine too. I used the same src.conf and make.conf. So the problem is definitely with i386. Dan ___

re: ifuncs check flawed?

Well, everything built fine, but the kernel faults on boot, so the checks are probably needed. ;-) I still do not understand why the linker that is part of 12-STABLE does not provide the support needed. The directives in my src.conf and make.conf do not delete the lld linker. They just cut
