Hey all, I recently built my first small server at home to learn and experiment on. It is currently running Ubuntu Server 12.04 headless. Ubuntu and my Freenas VM are installed on a 120gb SSD. I want to add three 1tb SATA HDDs but at the moment have only installed one.

This software is compatible with the sizzix e-clips machine. Sure cuts alot 2 serial number crack keygen.

I haven't added it to the Ubuntu install or formatted it, it is just a bare drive at the moment. I have googled alot but I can't seem to figure out how to add this in a way that it will be accessible to the Freenas VM. When I log in to Freenas through the web gui and view disks I see nothing.

Can someone help with steps that I can apply to this and the other two 1tb drives I will add? To be clear, I want these drives to be owned/managed by the Freenas VM, all of the Ubuntu server stuff and any VMs including the freenas one will be on the 120gb SSD. I set up the VM using virt-manager. I use virsh to start/stop it (and now autostart it). I am pretty much a noob but I have spent alot of time googling and reading.

Just can't quite seem to find anything on this. If you're feeding it the whole disk, raw is the storage format. Probably you want SATA or SCSI as the type - I don't *think* FreeNAS is going to have built-in VirtIO drivers. (If it did, then you'd want VirtIO. If you're not really following here, what you're doing is presenting a virtual 'disk' to your FreeNAS guest complete with 'hardware' interface and all - and you would be, even if you were in reality only handling it a file on your drive to store that 'disk' in.

VirtIO is more efficient than emulating IDE or SATA hardware, but AFAIK you won't have a VirtIO driver under FreeBSD, which FreeNAS is based on, so you should probably just go SATA or SCSI. I'd recommend SCSI, if it's available.).

The virtio_random(4) driver, allowing a VM guest to use the host as an entropy source, is not built in to the kernel nor provided as a module in 9.10.2: [rob@freenas /]$ kldstat -v grep virtio 414 virtio_pci/virtio_scsi 413 virtio_pci/virtio_balloon 412 virtio_pci/virtio_blk 411 virtio_pci/vtnet 410 pci/virtio_pci 409 virtio The device is recognized at boot time, but no driver is attached: virtio_pci2: port 0xc100-0xc11f irq 11 at device 4.0 on pci0 Presumably this is a simple kernel config update to add -- please do!

I don't like existing driver enough to just add it to the kernel, while we have not enough time and motivation to rewrite it. I'll let somebody in FreeBSD do that first. This is a year old request to enable a driver shipped by upstream that solves a real world problem today. If there are material issues with the driver that anyone intends to fix within FreeBSD itself, is there any reason why that wouldn't be done in place? This is also the simplest of the virtio drivers, and hasn't had any significant changes in the nearly five years it's been present in FreeBSD, so it sure doesn't look like anyone's in any particular hurry to fix whatever you believe to be wrong with it. What, exactly, is your concern with enabling a driver that should be irrelevant in any situation in which the target device is not present? There are several sides of my opinion: - The driver in its current design supplies only 16 bits of entropy in 5 seconds, and first time it does that 5 seconds after attach, by which time system already obtains some entropy from other sources.

May 8, 2015 - Can not load up VIRTIO drivers (for storage) when installing Windows 7. Move everything over to Linux/FreeBSD (I also run FreeNAS for VM. From the FreeNAS side, I added a new virtio interface attached to vmbr1, and within FreeNAS, gave it IP 172.16.1.2.

Sure, any amount of good entropy is good, but I am not sure it exactly solving world problems now. - The driver in its current design works synchronously, so if at the point host itself is low on entropy, guest CPU may block indefinitely. I don't like it. - It could be integrated tighter into the random subsystem as real hardware entropy source to provide as much entropy as needed and when needed, but that require closer look on the subsystem and complete driver rewrite.
