Re: bhyve, Windows guest and trim support

Try nvme, I believe that driver supports TRIM and I've had a lot better performance with it over ahci-hd. -Dustin On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 12:24 PM Andrea Venturoli wrote: > > Hello. > > I'm running zvol-backed Windows guests in bhyve on FreeBSD 12.1. > Over time, I see the zvol effectively used

bhyve + AMD + PCI passthru

I have this weird issue. I have a PC Engines box with a AMD SoC in it. I'm trying to pass through the USB 3.0 controller to a Windows VM. I added: hw.vmm.amdvi.enable="1" pptdevs="0/16/0" to /boot/loader.conf, rebooted, installed Windows, etc. Everything works great until I add: -s

Re: bhyve, sparse disk image and trim support?

As far as I know, virtio-blk works, but doesn’t support TRIM. I believe virtio-scsi does, but it seems to require more configuration on the host side from what I’ve seen. I never got it working with Windows at least. -Dustin On Apr 21, 2019, 2:47 PM -0500, Paul Vixie , wrote: > > &g

Re: bhyve, sparse disk image and trim support?

Using a sparse zvol and either the ahci-hd or nvme drivers should support TRIM. -Dustin On Apr 21, 2019, 12:02 PM -0500, Bjoern A. Zeeb , wrote: > Hi, > > I have been wondering about this with other (commercial) virtualisation > solutions in the past. If running on a “disk image” ideally I’d >

I'm not sure if 12.0 has bhyve nmve support, but 10 & 2019 both seem to run MUCH faster when using nvme compared to ahci-hd. -Dustin On Thu, Apr 11, 2019 at 4:40 PM The Doctor via freebsd-virtualization wrote: > > Seems to be running slow on FreeBSD 12.0 p3. > > Just wondering if there are

It would be interesting to test running it under Xen with FreeBSD as the dom0. -Dustin On Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 1:04 PM Harry Schmalzbauer wrote: > Am 22.10.2018 um 13:26 schrieb Harry Schmalzbauer: > … > > Test-Runs: > > Each hypervisor had only the one bench-guest running, no other > >

Re: Releasing deleted blocks from a sparse ZVOL used by bhyve guest

The bhyve ahci driver does work with guests that issue TRIM. virtio-blk sadly does not. -Dustin On May 14, 2018, 10:34 AM -0500, Paul Esson , wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I'm attempting to use a sparse ZVOL from a FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE host as a > data disk for a bhyve FreeBSD

Re: Storage overhead on zvols

I doubt it's best practice, and I'm sure I'm just crazy for doing it, but personally I try and match the ZVOL blocksize to whatever the underlaying filesystem's blocksize is. To me that just makes the most logical sense. -Dustin On Mon, Dec 4, 2017 at 5:19 PM, Dustin Wenz

Re: bhyve /Xen

I'm running 2016 (both Standard and Essentials) under 12-CURRENT bhyve without any obvious issues other than it's acting a lot slower than it should be. However I'm not entirely sure that it's a bhyve issue. -Dustin On Sun, Jan 15, 2017 at 4:46 PM -0600, "The Doctor"

Re: some bhyve guests showing high load on host

Another thing I've seen before is that if there's a lot of broadcast traffic on the network, that seems to increase CPU on the bhyve process. -Dustin On Sun, Jul 24, 2016 at 8:48 PM -0500, "Shane Ambler" wrote: On 25/07/2016 02:10, tech-lists wrote: > Hi, >

I'm using bhyve on my AMD box because of this exact reason. It's working well enough for me! -Dustin On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 11:00 AM, Gerd Hafenbrack wrote: > On 2016-02-04 13:21, Roger Pau Monné wrote: >> El 4/2/16 a les 11:59, Gerd Hafenbrack ha escrit: >>> Hello,

I'm running an 11.0-CURRENT (from exactly a week ago) on a 32-core (16-module) AMD Bulldozer system. Guest is NetBSD 7.99.21 HEAD, with timecounter hard-forced to ACPI-safe instead of hpet (HPET seemed unstable, although HPET is being used in the host FreeBSD). I start bhyve using a simple
