and line flag, -p, to let you pin a vCPU to a physical CPU. This might avoid some of the issues with the threads hopping around all the time. If you were anyone else, I'd also ask if you ensured your vfs.zfs.arc_max was low enough to actually leave some ram for the VM to use. -- Allan Jude signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

mands, and you will see the space become free in your zvol. There is a separate patch to teach the FreeBSD virtio-blk driver to send TRIM commands, it is still in review (needs testing on hypervisors other than bhyve): https://reviews.freebsd.org/D21708 -- Allan Jude signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

e the compression setting. If you want to recompress the entire volume: 1) stop the bhyve 2) snapshot the volume 3) create a new volume, with compression enabled 4) zfs send -e oldvolume@snapshot | zfs recv -F newvolume 5) start the bhyve using the new volume 6) (optional) destroy t

I think some changes to some of the bootstrap (pre-loader) code that is shared with bhyve-load, means it always prefers ZFS over UFS (normally for booting a real machine, you use a different bootstrap for UFS than for ZFS, but bhyve-load is a special case. -- Allan Jude ___ 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"
