- USES:
- compiler:c++14-lang cpe gnome iconv pkgconfig ssl tar:bzip2 python:build
- 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

- Update VirtualBox OSE to 6.1.18
- Old VirtualBox OSE 5.2.44 preserved as "-legacy" versions of the
ports (repocopied)
- Add back extra patch removed in r528258, actually required to
build DEBUG kmod
- Correctly define WITH_DEBUG when enabling the DEBUG option, so
binaries are not stripped
Please note that this new version supports only amd64 CPUs. If you need
to use older hardware please install the legacy ports.
Note that moving VM snapshots across major updates is unsupported, it's
strongly suggested to properly shutdown VMs before upgrading, please
check UPDATING for further details.
