Re: bhyve and backed-up dd disk image
Hi, I should have mentioned at the start - the disk image system ran ZFS as does the freebsd host. I tried to boot the image like this: sh /usr/share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh -c 4 -m 4096M -t tap0 -d disk.img diskimage It loads the spash screen and tries to boot but then drops me to the mountroot prompt after a screen or so of output: Trying to mount root from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default []... Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default failed with error 5. Loader variables: vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:zroot/ROOT/default Manual root filesystem specification: : [options] Mount using filesystem and with the specified (optional) option list. eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a zfs:tank cd9660:/dev/cd0 ro (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /) ?

Re: bhyve and backed-up dd disk image
Hi, Would I be able to spin up in bhyve a disk image that had been obtained from the disk of a bare-metal standard freebsd installation? In theory, yes. There will always be some issues with differences in devices (e.g. using igb0 on the host, but vtnet0 in the guest). 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"
