Dear Colleagues, The shutdown of vm-bhyve (and probably other bhyve-based VM managers) is commanded by "service vm shutdown." From man init(8) I've learned that "if the /etc/rc.shutdown does not terminate within 120 seconds, init will terminate it. The timeout can be configured via the sysctl variable kern.init_shutdown_timeout."
Does that mean that any VM is supposed to shut down within 2 minutes in a default FreeBSD host system (in reality probably even less), or else the bhyve process will be mercilessly killed? This is completely unsuitable for Windows guests who may take a considerable longer time to shutdown. Even in my FreeBSD guests I occasionally find the message that "root was not properly dismounted." Can something be done about this? What about CBSD, FreeNAS and other more specialized FreeBSD-based systems, what do they do about VM shutdown? Or I may be assuming incorrectly about the 2 minutes timeout. Please correct me then. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN 2:5005/49@fidonet http://vas.tomsk.ru/
