Re: Freezing VMs on Bytemark Hosting

Note to self: I shouldn't attempt to reply to emails when I'm tired in the future. Here is the full dmesg for my host OpenBSD 5.9 -stable running on vultr, in case it didn't come through in my previous email. OpenBSD 5.9 (GENERIC) #8: Thu Jul 14 20:12:37 CEST 2016

Re: Freezing VMs on Bytemark Hosting

You're running on KVM, which probably means you're using virtio. Have you set the 0x2 flag on the vio driver? I experienced hangs on my KVM-hosted OpenBSD VMs until I read the vio(4) man page: http://man.openbsd.org/vio.4 "The *vio* driver provides support for the virtio(4)
