I'd vote for making ,"sectorsize=512/4096" a artificial default. I'm not entire sure about the different Windows versions, but since BHYVE_UEFI.fd isn't able to access drives other than 512b sector size, I think it doesn't make sense to provide 8k drives by default in case of default ZFS volume. If I remember correctly Win6.3 (8.1/Server2k12) did support 4k and 8k native drives, with the limitation that "windows internal database - mssql" might not be usable, but I couldn't UEFI boot unless I changed sectrosize to 512 and stripezesize to 4k/8k. I guess not may other operating systems support bigger sector sizes as well as FreeBSD does today. So this artifical format might be what most times makes most sense. -harry ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Hi, bhyve -c 2 -s 0,hostbridge -s 3,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/my_zroot/VM/img/win7/disk0 For win7/2k8*, the sector size presented to the guest has to be forced to 512 bytes i.e. for the ahci-cd slot, the config would look like: -s 3,ahci-hd,/dev/zvol/my_zroot/VM/img/win7/disk0,sectorsize=512 later, Peter. ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

My next guess is that you use BHYVE_UEFI.fd for bootrom. The latter can't boot from 8k drives, Make sure you define something like this: -s 3,virtio-blk,/dev/zvol/hostPool/bhyveVOL/sys/guest1,sectorsize=512/4096 If that power guess didn't hit, you need to provide some details (boot method at very first along with some kind of error description). -harry ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
