Hello,
I have tried nas4free on proxmox/kvm and it work nice!
Unfortunately performance is not great because is missing virtio drivers.
Freebsd has virtio drivers, can you add them to default nas4free install?
Thanks,
Mario

Re: Virtualization (kvm) support
Probably xen support is even easier, I have seen that freebsd support officially xen dom0 domu and pv drivers.

Re: Virtualization (kvm) support
Basically I need to follow this tutorial under nas4free:
https://www.google.it/webhp?sourceid=ch ... 67&bih=900
But as a freebsd newbie I do not know how to install make/compiler/etc.
Can you provide an official pvhvm kernel?
Thanks,
Mario

Re: Virtualization (kvm) support
Hello mgiammarco,
I have a question for you.
I have a physical server with Debian squeeze where KVM is installed.
I have a virtual machine working well with a debian guest
I have a virtual machine working well with a windows serveur 2003 guest
But impossible to install nas4free 9 guest.
I created file.img with :
dd if=/dev/zero of=file.img bs=1G count=10
or with
qemu-img create file.img -f qcow2 10G
with those two differents methods, I can boot but I can't install form the CD (this CD works because I installed my old physical Nas4Free with it before)
I can see the timer, I can see the console setup, I chose "Install/Upgrade Nas4Free from LiveCD
but whatever I chose at the next menu (the menu where I can choose Embedded or Full Install), I then can chose "cd0 QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM 0.12" and then... nothing... I'm back to the menu where I can choose Embedded or Full Install...
Just as if there wasn't any harddisk...
Here is my starting_vm_script :
#!bin/bash
kvm \
-drive file=/file.img,if=virtio,boot=on \
-m 512 \
-cdrom /N4F_9_x64.iso \
-boot d \
-vnc :2
Can you tell me what have you done or where is my mistake ?
Thank you
