Why doesn’t sysutils/vm-bhyve start my hosts?

After booting, my vms are not started by sysutils/vm-bhyve. Why?

Perhaps it’s because I did not set vm_list.

Here is me starting them today up after booting the host yesterday. NOTE: I already have a not to myself to add VM monitoring to Nagios.

In this post I’m using:

  • FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p3
  • vm-bhyve-1.5.0
  • edk2-bhyve-g202202_1

Let’s look at rcorder

Here is a shortened version of the rcorder output:

I wonder if this this is to blame:

rcorder: `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vm' was seen in circular dependencies for 10 times.

The top of the vm rc.d script contains:

# PROVIDE: vm
# REQUIRE: NETWORKING SERVERS dmesg
# BEFORE: dnsmasq ipfw pf
# KEYWORD: shutdown nojail

I’m not using dnsmasq or ipfw, but I am using pf.

Looking at pf, it requires netif, which NETWORKING also requires – there is no need to say BEFORE: pf or ipfw.

Let’s try that change:

[slocum dan /usr/local/etc/rc.d] % rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* | head -30
