> Bhyve virtual machines can now share a filesystem with the host via the new p9fs Nice!

  Wild! Fun to see 9p filesystem protocol continue to have a life in this form.
• martinrame 7mo ago
  Yea!, as far as I understand, with p9fs now a simple zfs dataset can be shared with the VM, removing the need of ZVOLs (a ZVOL for the boot disk isn't an issue, but for example a data disk of 1tb is difficult to manage).

  It's the duct tape of filesystem protocols, in a good way.

  Huh, in a point release? But excited to try it out ASAP! I haven’t made the leap to 15 on my server yet (in part because I can’t decide whether to go with pkgbase or not…), but sharing data more easily with VMs will surely be nice. What’s the performance like?

    > in part because I can’t decide whether to go with pkgbase or not… pkgbase is optional in FreeBSD 15 BTW. One way to upgrade the base system and another to upgrade packages just feels inconsistent to me and pkgbase finally resolves that. I've not had any problems with pkgbase. I love it and would highly recommend it.
