Anyone running Virtualbox on FreeBSD?
Just wondering when 5.0 will be in BSD ports?

Re: Virtualbox on FreeBSD
Actually that would be up to the FreeBSD folks.
OSX, Linux and Windows Hosts & Guests
There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

Re: Virtualbox on FreeBSD
How is the status of VB on FreeBSD? Does everything work, or are there missing features? Say, like 3D graphics? USB 3.0?

Re: Virtualbox on FreeBSD
The status of FreeBSD has not changed. It is not a Supported Host, and you should ask on a FreeBSD support site if you have questions regarding their VirtualBox fork, if any.
Re: Virtualbox on FreeBSD
I'd say:
for virtual machines
- EFI doesn't work properly
- NVE storage controllers doesn't supported
Just because VBox.ext.pack is not ported for FreeBSD
And now I hit the performance issue - when guest works very slow on a new Xeon E5-2687W v4 with NVE storages. Have no idea why
But if you need something simple - it works ok.
Some of my old testing servers uses FreeBSD + VirtualBox for managing testing environments.
But for new ones I'm looking for something other because of limitations I've pointed above.
