FreeBSD/i386 10.3-RELEASE running as a guest operating system on VirtualBox can have a problem with disk I/O access. It depends on some specific hardware configuration and does not depend on a specific version of VirtualBox or host operating system.
It has been reported that instability may be present on virtual machines running on other hypervisors, such as Xen or KVM.
It causes various errors and makes FreeBSD quite unstable.
Although the cause is still unclear, disabling unmapped I/O
works as a workaround. To disable it, choose
Escape to loader prompt in the boot menu
and enter the following lines from loader(8) prompt,
after an OK:
set vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0 boot
Note that the following line has to be added to
/boot/loader.conf after a boot. It
disables unmapped I/O at every boot:
vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed=0
FreeBSD/i386 10.3-RELEASE installed on ZFS
may crash during boot when the ZFS pool mount is attempted
while booting an unmodified GENERIC
kernel.
As described in /usr/src/UPDATING
entry 20121223, rebuilding the kernel
with options KSTACK_PAGES=4 has been
observed to resolve the boot-time crash. This, however, is
not an ideal solution for inclusion in the
GENERIC kernel configuration, as
increasing KSTACK_PAGES implicitly
decreases available usermode threads in an environment that
is already resource-starved.
Taking into account the heavy resource requirements of
ZFS, in addition to the i386-specific tuning
requirements for general workloads, using ZFS with the
FreeBSD/i386 GENERIC kernel
is strongly discouraged.
If installing FreeBSD/i386 on ZFS, it is possible to
configure the system after installation to increase the
KSTACK_PAGES.
When prompted by bsdinstall(8) to perform additional post-installation configuration to the system, select .
This procedure requires the system sources available
locally. If the System source code
distribution was not selected during installation, it can
be obtained using svnlite:
#mkdir -p /usr/src#svnlite co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.2 /usr/src
Build the kernel-toolchain required
to rebuild the kernel:
# make -C /usr/src kernel-toolchainNext, create a kernel configuration file to increase the
KSTACK_PAGES option:
#printf "include GENERIC\noptions KSTACK_PAGES=4\n" >/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ZFS
Then build and install the
ZFS kernel:
#make -C /usr/src buildkernel KERNCONF=ZFS#make -C /usr/src installkernel KERNCONF=ZFS
It is extremely important to take note that, by
default, freebsd-update(8) will install the
GENERIC kernel configuration, and
as such, freebsd-update(8) consumers are strongly
encouraged to avoid FreeBSD-provided kernel binary upgrades
with such configurations.
Due to an incompatibility between bsdconfig(8) and pkg(8), packages included on the FreeBSD dvd installer will not be recognized by bsdconfig(8).
To install packages from the dvd1.iso
installer, create the /dist target directory, and
manually mount the dvd1.iso
ISO:
#mkdir -p /dist#mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0/dist
Be sure to use the correct /dev device path for the
dvd1.iso ISO
installer.
Next, set REPOS_DIR to the path of the
repos/ directory
within the installer so pkg(8) will use the correct
repository metadata.
If using sh(1):
# export REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/reposIf using csh(1):
# setenv REPOS_DIR /dist/packages/reposKeep in mind that REPOS_DIR will need
to be set again after the current shell session is
terminated, if continuing to use the packages provided on
the dvd1.iso installer.
Finally, bootstrap pkg(8) from the ISO, and install required packages:
#pkg bootstrap#pkg installxorg-serverxorggnome3[...]
An issue was discovered where the netstat(1)
-s option will cause a segmentation fault
on systems with IPSEC compiled into the
kernel. The issue was resolved in the
stable/10 branch, and an Errata Notice is
planned after 10.3-RELEASE is released.
[2015-08-19] Resolved as FreeBSD-EN-15:12.
An issue was discovered that causes make(1) to generate noisy output when doing source-based upgrades from FreeBSD 9.3 and earlier. The issue was reported in PR 202277, and after investigation and determining the issue does not cause source-based upgrades to fail, a post-release Errata Notice is planned.
[2015-08-19] Resolved as FreeBSD-EN-15:11.
An issue with FreeBSD virtual machines with
vagrant was discovered that
affects the VirtualBox where the
virtual machine will not start on the initial boot invoked
with vagrant up.
The issue is due to the virtual machine
MAC being unset, as FreeBSD does not provide
a default Vagrantfile.
It has been observed, however, that a subsequent
invocation of vagrant up will allow the
virtual machine to successfully boot, allowing access via
vagrant ssh.
[2015-08-16] An error was discovered in the release
notes for FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE regarding the
drm device driver. The entry for r282199
states the driver was updated to match the version Linux®
3.8.13 version, however the entry should have noted the
change affects device-independent code, and does not bring
the drm driver fully in line with the
stated Linux® version.

An issue was discovered with Amazon® EC2™ images which would cause the virtual machine to hang during boot when upgrading from previous FreeBSD versions. New EC2™ installations are not affected, but existing installations running earlier releases are advised to wait until the issue is resolved in an Errata Notice before upgrading. An Errata Notice to address this is planned following the release.
FreeBSD/i386 installed on ZFS may crash during boot
when the ZFS pool mount is attempted while booting an
unmodified GENERIC kernel.
A system tunable has been added as of revision
r286584 to make the
kern.kstack_pages tunable configurable
without recompiling the kernel.
To mitigate system crashes with such configurations,
chose Escape to loader prompt in the boot
menu and enter the following lines from loader(8)
prompt, after an OK:
set kern.kstack_pages=4 boot
Add this line to
/boot/loader.conf for the change to
persist across reboots:
kern.kstack_pages=4
A bug was diagnosed in interaction of the
pmap_activate() function and
TLB shootdown IPI
handler on amd64 systems which have PCID
features but do not implement the INVPCID
instruction. On such machines, such as SandyBridge™
and IvyBridge™ microarchitectures, set the loader
tunable vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=0 during
boot:
set vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=0 boot
Add this line to
/boot/loader.conf for the change to
persist across reboots:
To check if the system is affected, check dmesg(8) for PCID listed in the "Features2", and absence of INVPCID in the "Structured Extended Features". If the PCID feature is not present, or INVPCID is present, system is not affected.
vm.pmap.pcid_enabled=0
The Release Notes erroneously states the
WITH_SYSTEM_COMPILER src.conf(5)
option is enabled by default, however this was disabled
prior to the final release build.
The release announcement stated "Wireless support for 802.11n has been added." This was intended to state "Wireless support for 802.11n has been added for additional wireless network drivers."
Some release notes pertaining to the Cavium ThunderX platform (the FreeBSD/arm64 reference platform) were omitted:
[2016-10-20] Several recent Dell systems fail to find a bootable disk when the system boots in Legacy/BIOS/CSM mode, the boot disk is partitioned with GPT, and the Active flag in the Protective MBR is not set. To work around this issue, either configure the system to boot in UEFI mode, or choose the "GPT + Active" scheme. [r293860]
[2016-10-21] Support for sha512 and
skein checksumming has been added to the
ZFS filesystem. This was not mentioned
in the release notes.
Systems being upgraded from earlier FreeBSD releases with
ZFS will see a message in zpool
status output noting the pool is not at the
latest version, and some features may not be enabled.
Additional instructions on how to update
ZFS pools to the latest version and
update the boot blocks for all boot drives in the pool will
also be provided in the output.
This information is also documented in
/usr/src/UPDATING, which is included if
the src component is selected during
installation.
[2016-10-21] The size of the GPT
enabled ZFS boot blocks
(/boot/gptzfsboot) has increased past
64K. Systems upgraded from older releases may experience
a problem where the size of the existing
"freebsd-boot" partition is too small to hold the
new gptzfsboot.
Systems where the boot partition is immediately followed
by the swap partition, such as those installed via
bsdinstall(8), can resize the swap partition slightly
using the gpart(8) resize command,
so space can be reclaimed to increase the size of the
freebsd-boot partition.
[2016-10-21] Due to a bug in earlier versions of clang(1) that is difficult to work around in the upgrade process, to upgrade the system from sources via buildworld to -CURRENT or 11.0-RELEASE, it is necessary to upgrade machines running 9.x to at least revision r286035, or machines running 10.x to revision r286033. Source-based upgrades from 10.3-RELEASE are not affected. This differs from the historical situation where one could generally upgrade from anywhere on earlier stable branches, so caution should be exercised.
