SETUP:

  • 11.3-U2 install, upgraded from a fresh 11.3-U1 install
  • New Windows 10 VM and new CentOS 8 VM
  • (Can't test with Ubuntu, since FreeNAS x.x no longer supports Ubuntu per https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-105649 )
  • No jails. No custom/advanced parameters.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

SYMPTOMS:

All virtual machines will start and run fine initially, but when left overnight, will immediately crash/fail when attempting to connect over noVNC.

Windows 10 VM, immediately upon clicking "VNC" button after running overnight:
Apr 21 12:27:33 [host] kernel: pid 33026 (bhyve), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11
Apr 21 12:27:33 [host] kernel: tap0: link state changed to DOWN
Apr 21 12:27:33 [host] kernel: tap0: link state changed to DOWN


CentOS VM, immediately upon clicking "VNC" button after running for two days:
Apr 21 12:28:04 [host] kernel: pid 33258 (bhyve), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11
Apr 21 12:28:04 [host] kernel: tap1: link state changed to DOWN
Apr 21 12:28:04 [host] kernel: tap1: link state changed to DOWN


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

TROUBLESHOOTING:

These same systems are running fine immediately before clicking "VNC" in the webUI, as-shown by CPU load, disk activity, TeamViewer (to the VM), and RealVNC (also to the VM).

The problem begins, every time, when clicking the "VNC" button to launch noVNC.

Just another attachment; this is what is seen at the exact same time the VM goes down (and the error is logged as posted above).

NOTE: if trying to access the VM through any other means (RDP, RealVNC, TeamViewer, Linux-standard VNCs, etc), no issues are noted. The crash happens every time with noVNC/clicking the VNC button in the FreeNAS webUI.

I'm experiencing a similar issue...

Apr 25 21:49:43 storage kernel: pid 55611 (bhyve), jid 0, uid 0: exited on signal 11
Apr 25 21:49:43 storage kernel: tap0: link state changed to DOWN
Apr 25 21:49:43 storage kernel: tap0: link state changed to DOWN

I just setup a Ubuntu server for the first time, haven't even made it past the setup screen for languages yet

Same story happened to me, since I upgraded my rig to FreeNAS-11.3-U2.1.
It happens with a preexistent VM (Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS), but with a brand new "Focal Fossa" VM (Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS), too.

I finally gave up.
All I could get was the VM to boot for a while, couldn't even get the installer to complete and then CRASH.
VM Deleted, guess I didn't need it.

Seems that I found a solution, at least for my case (all VNC clients, from UltraVNC to TightVNC, including HTTP-based ones, made my Ubuntu Server machines crashing with exit code 11).
I changed the NIC "Adapter Type" from "Intel e82545" to "VirtIO", and started the VMs.

Interesting.
Give me a few and I'll give it a try as well and I'll confirm if I get the same results or not.

Well I couldn't even get through a installer with the Intel NIC. With the VirtIO NIC it seems to be working just fine and is now finally installing!
Nice Find!!

same issue for me on a fresh install of FreeNAS-11.3-U3.2

just changed all my VM NIC to VirtIO, will see.

I just discovered my DietPiVM decided to drop out with this 11 fault today, no idea why - was this rolled in, as a bug to FreeNAS recently? 11.3-U3?


EDIT: confirmed bug with VNC connections, soon as I connect, she crashes- has anyone reported this to IX?

The VirtIO fix worked for me.

Sure, but this shouldn't be crashing a VM either.

Can confirm VirtIO fix worked for me tonight with this. Kind of annoying I had to do it though. Default new VM creation should at least go to the one which isn't going to crash the VM.

which processor you are on?
I encounter this issue after I switch from Ryzen 3200G to E3 1220 v3

I have the Denverton C3758 I think. - I got the impression from this thread, that the problem was due to a recent patch?
