Hi Allan,

First sorry just to reply now, as I already said in other blog posts I’m having too much work and, I forgot the rest :/…

Yes you are trully right. I wrong when I first write this post. I must update it.

I my error was lack of deep knowledge about KQemu. Until now I don’t know any nice to have solution to get PVM’s working on FreeBSD. Do you?

Once again sorry for the late reply and thanks for your input.

Cheers,
Francisco

KQEmu is not related to KVM at all. KQEmu existed long before KVM, KQEmu is a kernel module that allows guest code to execute in the host kernel, and does NOT require hardware support. KVM uses native features of the processor to execute the guest code.

Hi Yocl,

Well, I know it’s a “port” of KVM into FreeBSD.
My mistake was not to write the post title as “KVM” with quotations marks.

Thanks for the correction.

Best regards,
Francisco

kqemu is not kvm.

The simple fact is that FreeBSD is not well suited for use as a virtualization host system. While it may be well intentioned, the lack of support for block type devices alienates FreeBSD from most traditional UNIXs and Linux.

Hi João,

I know KVM developers are making huge efforts to get KVM reach the mainstream as a standard opens ource hypervisor for err Linux, so I wanted to see how nice has this port to FreeBSD.

But the simple answer is, it was the first in the queue to test

Yes I hope to test Virtualbox next month or so. (now more than ever that Virtualbox guys are “FreeBSD friends ”

I need also to see how does FreeBSD 8 run as a Xen Guest too.

After all I want to try them all (wel amost all. I don’t think I’m gonna test Hyper-V )

Stay cool,

Francisco

Hi!

Why did you choose KVM instead of another free hypervisor like VirtualBox?
I have nothing against KVM… this is really a curiosity of mine.

Thank you.
