FreeNAS VM: Plugins with vnet not installing or running. Possible xen driver issue causing kernel panic.

[louisjmckay]

Hi all

Issue: Plugins with vnet not installing or running. (I can install a plugin without vnet box checked but DHCP fails and it doesn't start)

Cause:

1. Nothing in messages log that i could see.
2. Console error as per below.

I couldn't find any solutions in this forum but i did find reference to similar behavior in the freebsd forums.

I can reproduce this issue from shell with:

# ifconfig create bridge # ifconfig bridge0 addm xn0

1. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216304
2. http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/xen-vimage-kernel-panic-td6276708.html

My system specs are in my signature.


Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated.

Something isn't happy hardware-wise as you're getting a stacktrace. Out of curiosity, what is your use case for running virtualization within virtualization (plugins on FreeNAS on Xen)?

I wanted to run other virtual machines on the same hardware. If it's going to be too difficult to fix this issue then i'll move to bare metal and maybe use the FreeNAS hypervisor. In regards to plugins, i presumed that was the easiest route to install sonarr,radarr,sabnzbd etc.
