- Options name:
- emulators_virtualbox-ose-legacy
- USES:
- compiler:c++14-lang cpe gnome iconv pkgconfig ssl tar:bzip2 python gl qmake:no_env qt:5 xorg sdl xorg
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- VirtualBox was installed.
You need to load the vboxdrv kernel module via /boot/loader.conf:
vboxdrv_load="YES"
You also have to add all users to your vboxusers group in order to use vbox.
% pw groupmod vboxusers -m jerry
Reboot the machine to load the needed kernel modules.
Bridging Support:
=================
For bridged networking please add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
vboxnet_enable="YES"
USB Support:
============
For USB support your user needs to be in the operator group and needs read
and write permissions to the USB device.
% pw groupmod operator -m jerry
Add the following to /etc/devfs.rules (create if it doesn't exist):
[system=10]
add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator
To load these new rule add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
Then restart devfs to load the new rules:
% /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Troubleshooting:
================
Running VirtualBox as non-root user may fail with a fatal error
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED. In this case delete /tmp/.vbox-*-ipc file.
If you experience "Network: write Failed: Cannot allocate memory" errors
try to increase net.graph.maxdata in /boot/loader.conf
If you are using AIO, then increase these limits (https://bugs.freebsd.org/168298):
vfs.aio.max_buf_aio=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc=65536
vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue=65536
To check if AIO is used use: kldstat -v | grep aio
If you are experiencing VMs freezes with an error in VBox.log such as:
"
00:01:29.590192 AssertLogRel /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy/work/VirtualBox-5.2.44
/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PGMPhys.cpp(5148) int PGMR3PhysAllocateHandyPages(PVM): RT_SUCCESS(rc)

"
and see a lot of free RAM, then increase sysctl vm.max_user_wired
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/252227).
For dedicated VM servers, a good start is:
("RAM in GB" - max(1, "RAM in GB" / 32)) * 1024*1024*1024 / PAGE_SIZE
PAGE_SIZE on x86 is 4096.
Examples with different RAM sizes in GB:
16: ( 16-max(1, 16/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 3932160 => 15GB
32: ( 32-max(1, 32/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 8126464 => 31GB
48: ( 48-max(1, 48/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 12189696 => 46.5GB
64: ( 64-max(1, 64/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 16252928 => 62GB
128: (128-max(1,128/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 32505856 => 124GB
256: (256-max(1,256/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 65011712 => 248GB

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other. |
