Re: [Differential] D7185: Add virtio-console support to bhyve

Hi Jakub, The purpose of virtio-console is to create arbitrary bidirectional, host-to-guest communication channels that bypass guest's network stack (don't require working networking in the guest). Could virtio-vsock be a better solution for this ? Docker's hyperkit has an implementation,

fwiw, bhyve's existing console support is working fine for me. i use rtty (from ports). my configuration looks like this: [mm1.redbarn:amd64] ls -l /usr/local/rtty/dev total 3 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 May 18 2014 family@ -> /dev/nmdm2A lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 May 17 2014 guests@ ->
