Hello virtuals, I'm running stable-10 r262917 on an i7 machine with 192GB RAM and 10Tb zfs. I'd like to run bhyve but I'm struggling a little bit because the latest information is scattered about instead of all in one place. 1. I've read that virtualbox and bhyve cannot run at the same time. Is this still the case? (because I've managed to start a bhyve instance with virtualbox still running - is this a fluke?) 2. Can I take a system made in virtualbox and boot with it using bhyve? The system 'hard drives' are all VDI (the default in virtualbox) 3. if I can't boot it without conversion to something else, how do I go about it? 4. what's the maximum number of cpu and the maximum ram and HD space that I can give to a bhyve VM? 5. if I make a VM and put opensuse (latest) on it, is it preferable to have the HD as raw or as ext-3 (or whatever the default for opensuse is)? If the latter, is there a penalty in terms of performance or security? The host runs zfs. thanks for your input -- John
