Restricting IP ranges for guests over tap devices

Hello! Let's say I have a machine running a few dozen bhyve guests. Each bhyve guest gets its own tap device, and all of the tap devices are connected to a bridge. Everything works fine. I can write pf rules that control access between each guest, and between each guest and the world. I can't

Severely broken bhyve console

Hello! For reasons I'm unable to explain, my ability to access the nmdm consoles of bhyve guests has suddenly broken. It may have been caused by a recent 11.2 update - I keep this machine on 11.2-RELEASE plus freebsd-update patches but, as it's not a publically accessible machine, I rarely reboot

Segmentation fault in grub-bhyve when trying to boot a Linux guest

Hello. I've recently attempted to install a Debian 9.4.0 x86_64 guest. The installer ran to completion without issue, and I then rebooted into the installed system, again without issue. I then shut the system down and tried to bring it up... pid 71802 (grub-bhyve), uid 0: exited on signal 11

Read-only view of a ZFS filesystem inside a bhyve guest?

Hello. I'm looking to do what the subject says: I have an existing ZFS filesystem (/storage/xyz) and I'd like to provide a read-only view of the filesystem to a set of bhyve guests. The guests in this case could be solely FreeBSD guests, but if there's a pleasant way to allow for OpenBSD or Linux
