Hi, ok it's not nice to ask general things I got it :( So basically I like to know what kind of Hypervisors are used out there and work for people. With that input I can look more closely into some of the Options and check out if the fit my needs. I was not fully aware that there is a Open

Hi all, I'm seeing this on two systems. Yesterday, I tried to update errata using mtier's "openup" utility which I've used in the past. I only mention it becase I noticed these problems at the same time; not sure there is a cause-effect here. A third system was updated without issue. The problem

Hi, what exactly is your question? Nowadays OpenBSD runs by default on: - OpenBSD vmm - Xen (HVM modes) - Hyper-V - VMware - KVM - VirtualBox - bhyve - qemu (also aarch64 and others) - sun4v logical domains - ... We have PV drivers for all of them in GENERIC. Reyk > Am 08.03.2017 um 07:07 sch

I have OpenBSD (and FreeBSD) running on Linode VMs (on a KVM host) and it works well enough. I'm more than hazy on the details, but the issue as far as I'm aware is that OpenBSD does not yet have full support for virtio. So I need to use full virtualization for it to recognize my disks and network
