Hi, I've been doing some testing with Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 and FreeBSD, so far compatibility has been great across the board with all versions of FreeBSD from 4.x - 7.x on IDE based virtual drives (no compatibility with SCSI driver).
However, on FreeBSD 5.x I noticed the CPU detected by FreeBSD is half of the actual CPU available (e.g. the machine has 6 x 900MHz CPUs and each VM is assigned a 900MHz CPU), yes FreeBSD 5.x detects the CPU frequency at 400-498MHz no matter what settings I try to change and what options I've added to the kernel. This usually resulted in "time went backward" errors and significant performance impact. I tried FBSD 7.x-CURRENT and the CPU was detected perfectly fine as P-III 900MHz and performance was much better improved. Results were obtained through: > sysctl hw.clockrate I've left notes on this matter at freebsd-questions: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-January/111628.html Any advise or check on this is appreciated, I can provide access to the VM machines if wanted. Thx, Tamouh Hakmi _______________________________________________ freebsd-performance@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-performance To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
