GPU Passthrough for Bhyve in Seem's plausible in FreeBSD 12.0+

[Camofelix]

Exiting stuff for being able to virtualize GPU's for VM's via Bhyve in 12.0+!

Hopefully if/when we can get freenas 12.0 alphas/betas we can start playing around with this!

Sounds like it could take some time for this to get good.

Agreed, but it does look promising. Would allow to effectively virtualize full on workstations and have your NAS also operate as a fairly decent virtualization platform that you can manage via the web UI.

what does look interesting is that, after changing that one line, it worked seamlessly for *nix clients.

@Chris Moore There's a PR for this feature for 11.3 over yonder: https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-100045
