Thanks for the hint. However, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm interested in running a type-1 Hypervisor with FreeBSD as the host (as in Xen/Dom0) and all kinds of DomU clients (FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, etc.). The host machine will be a server with at least 90 GB RAM (later up to 512 GB) and plenty of SAS/SATA drives. Since I'm considering running ZFS on those drives at the host level, and serving the clients on top of that, FreeBSD as Xen/Dom0 seems like a good idea... if it was already available. However, I'm not sure yet if ZFS would be advisable for this scenario or if it would kill performance. If not, I wouldn't mind running Xen/Dom0 with some lightweight Linux distro as host, and FreeBSD as DomU. It wouldn't be as nice as a native FreeBSD setup, but it's better than nothing. Thanks, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
