Hi Pavel,=0A= =0A= Thanks for inquiring about the BSD drivers for Hyper-V. We (Microsoft) are = actively working on these drivers and the intent is to get them integrated = in to the kernel within the next month or so. There are some issues we are = trying to address:=0A= =0A= a) Witness panic during boot time due to a specific memory allocation.=0A= b) Bypass usage of disk labels to ensure that devices do not get reordered = under FreeBSD.=0A= c) Locks up on 32 bit builds.=0A= d) Lack of KVP support for BSD drivers=0A= =0A= We are working hard every day to finish these items.=0A= =0A= Even though an official announcement has not gone out, I would highly encou= rage you to start testing the drivers. As they are in project branch now th= ey should be easy to compile. The only requirement is to set up disk labels= before rebooting a kernel that includes the Hyper-V drivers otherwise the = system will not boot up.=0A= =0A= Please let me know if you have more questions or have feedback.=0A= =0A= Thanks again for your interest.=0A= Abhishek=0A= ________________________________________=0A= From: Peter Grehan <grehan@freebsd.org>=0A= Sent: Friday, August 16, 2013 11:30 AM=0A= To: Abhishek Gupta (LIS)=0A= Subject: Fwd: Hyper-V driver development status=0A= =0A= Want to reply to this ?=0A= =0A= =0A= -------- Original Message --------=0A= Subject: Hyper-V driver development status=0A= Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:00:57 +0400=0A= From: Pavel Timofeev <timp87@gmail.com>=0A= To: freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org=0A= =0A= Hi all!=0A= I'd like to know what's happening with hyper-v driver development in=0A= FreeBSD.=0A= I know about svn branch but there is no active progress in there.=0A= What's the roadmap?
