Hello,
I am playing around with VM's and trying to set up some. One of the issues I am facing is that I can not install FreeBSD (12.3 & 13) in VM's.
After I defined the VM I start them. Installation begins and crashes. Presumably due to a "Read-only file system" or more precise "the installer can not write to the disk".
I did try with the following options
BIOS
- UEFI
For the CPU
- virtual 2, cores 2, threads 2
- cpu-mode: hostmodel (also tested with "host passthrough"_
- cpu model "--"
For the disk
- defining a dataset
- removing the dataset and defining a zvol
- using virtio (also tested with "ahci")
- allowing "libvirt-qemu" group to access and write to the zvol (/dataset)
as advised here https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/cant-get-a-vm-and-some-apps-to-launch-in-scale.95418/
RAM
- 2GiB
ZVOL
- 100 GiB
Despite this effort .... I did not manage to install ....
Note that
- zfs does not indicate any errors and
- I did manage to install Fedora35, without changing things to zvol rights etc
Below some logging
