+== Open Issues + +* FreeBSD/i386 10.3-RELEASE running as a guest operating system on VirtualBox can have a problem with disk I/O access. It depends on some specific hardware configuration and does not depend on a specific version of VirtualBox or host operating system. ++ +It has been reported that instability may be present on virtual machines running on other hypervisors, such as Xen or KVM. ++ +It causes various errors and makes FreeBSD quite unstable. Although the cause is still unclear, disabling unmapped I/O works as a workaround. To disable it, choose `Escape to loader prompt` in the boot menu and enter the following lines from http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=loader&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports[loader(8)] prompt, after an `OK`: ++ +[.screen] +---- +set vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0 +boot +---- ++ +Note that the following line has to be added to `/boot/loader.conf` after a boot. It disables unmapped I/O at every boot: ++ +[.screen] +---- +vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0 +---- +* FreeBSD/i386 10.3-RELEASE installed on ZFS may crash during boot when the ZFS pool mount is attempted while booting an unmodified `GENERIC` kernel. ++ +As described in `/usr/src/UPDATING` entry `20121223`, rebuilding the kernel with `options KSTACK_PAGES=4` has been observed to resolve the boot-time crash. This, however, is not an ideal solution for inclusion in the `GENERIC` kernel configuration, as increasing `KSTACK_PAGES` implicitly decreases available usermode threads in an environment that is already resource-starved. ++ +Taking into account the heavy resource requirements of ZFS, in addition to the i386-specific tuning requirements for general workloads, using ZFS with the FreeBSD/i386 `GENERIC` kernel is strongly discouraged. ++ +If installing FreeBSD/i386 on ZFS, it is possible to configure the system after installation to increase the `KSTACK_PAGES`. ++ +When prompted by http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdinstall&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release-ports[bsdinstall(8)] to perform additional post-installation configuration to the system, select [.guibutton]#[ YES ]#. ++ +This procedure requires the system sources available locally.
