Hi all,
I am running bhyve (via TrueNAS Core 13) and have some Ubuntu 20.04 and
22.04 guests.
One of them rather regularly seizes up hard, where I cannot ssh to it,
then after a few minutes works again. This happens repeatedly and on and
off. In the Ubuntu logs I see messages like:
```
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU2: Marking clocksource 'tsc' as
unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource: 'hpet' wd_nsec: 536417782 wd_now:
638cb3ff wd_last: 63036152 mask: ffffffff
clocksource: 'tsc' cs_nsec: 536821277 cs_now:
225a9f9e1250b cs_last: 225a9b3891749 mask: ffffffffffffffff
clocksource: 'tsc' is current clocksource.
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use
'tsc=unstable'.
sched_clock: Marking unstable (12899572906362,
9192186981)<-(12908811630850, -46250627)
clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 2 to CPUs
0-1,3.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
loop8: detected capacity change from 0 to 114000
```
Although I don't fully grok these messages, they sound like something
that could be bhyve's fault. Anyone know if that may indeed be the
case?
There is a thread about this on the TrueNAS forum too, but with no
answers really:
