Just a random thought ,since i’ve been thinking about my NAS redo. I have been running Core for awhile toying with it, and I always have the same problem with VM’s. I can’t get a Windows install going. Invariably it faults during install, or once installed and I start attempting to install updates or other software, it just hangs the VM. I have only been able to get a Linux VM running reliably.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Anyone seen this?
Which cpu hardware do you have?
Currently residing on an Intel 3770 with 16GB, an Intel NIC, some random HD’s tossed into an array.
There were a bunch of security holes in intel CPUs of that era that got patched by intel via operating systems installing firmware updates. With the end result of the CPUs running about 1/2 of their previous speed, and lacking some features. I had an intel CPU that lost the ability to run virtual machines.
It is time to upgrade.
i7-3770 works fine running VMs. I’ve used bhyve briefly for Windows VMs and it worked fine for the little I used it for on FreeBSD. I mainly use it for Linux to run Debian (build OpenWrt images) and sometimes LibreELEC. I don’t know how it’s setup using TrueNAS Core though…
Oh I am, it was just running on that for toying purposes. I found it odd that I couldn’t get a Windows VM to run right on Linux, and I can’t get a Linux VM to run at all on Hyper-V
