Re: Suggestions from DSA
Steven Chamberlain: Maybe virtio drivers improve things (in kfreebsd-10, also were added in either 9.1 or 9.2 I think?). Yep, it's supported in 9.2. As for D-I, I don't think it will work due to different disk naming scheme (/dev/vtbd[0-9]). In case someone wants to give some try at fixing D-I, I think it just needs patching in two places: - A probing routine in parted (see debian/patches/kfreebsd_lvm.patch for an example) - humandev() in lib/base.sh in partman-base -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Suggestions from DSA
So I don't forget, and for anyone else interested, here were some suggestions recently from DSA when I asked how we could make life easier for them. Missing features / things to document better in the Wiki FAQ: http://dsa.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd/ also pflogd was mentioned in the past, I may work on that. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00026.html We use ganeti (kvm) for virtualization. Yes, better guest support would be great. Maybe virtio drivers improve things (in kfreebsd-10, also were added in either 9.1 or 9.2 I think?). http://bigv.io/ may be a fun place to test this (Bytemark provide+sponsor+host some of DSA's hardware). More equivalency between linux and kfreebsd userland, at least as far as puppet is concerned, would help. For example, we like ferm, but ferm is iptables only. ferm is interesting as it seems to provide a PF-like syntax to iptables users ;) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/09/msg00036.html syslog-ng on kfreebsd doesn't properly reconnect to logservers after they went a way for a while or the network dropped.
