Hi, Recently I have picked up Sean's and Hiren's activities in porting Qemu driver on FreeBSD. At this point I have the basics working. Meaning that these things work: - Basic host commands (version, nodeinfo, etc) - Can perform basic operations on the VM (start, stop, destroy, etc) - Basic bridging (bridge creation/removing, adding/removing interfaces, setting addresses etc) Currently I keep FreeBSD specific info here: https://github.com/novel/fbsd-libvirt/blob/freebsd/README-freebsd There are a number things to be done: - Firewall support. Currently I have just disabled iptables calls and add general ipfw NAT rules for all VMs. This appears to be the most tough part for me at this point for a number of reasons: * FreeBSD has two widely used firewall packages: pf and ipfw. I'm not sure if they play nice together, e.g. if I choose to use ipfw, people that have pf configuration will have problems making libvirt work with their existing setup * Need to design a general schema for injection of the rules so they don't harm existing setup ipfw seems to be more appealing for automatic control via external applications like libvirt, but I'm still not sure how to organise rulesets. - Affinity stuff needs to be implemented - Code needs a lot of clean-up, needs to be refactored to extract common cross-platfrom code, etc - NWFilter stuff needs to be implemented (this is sort of a long term goal) The code is available here: https://github.com/novel/fbsd-libvirt/tree/freebsd Current changes could be observed here: https://github.com/novel/fbsd-libvirt/compare/upstream_master...freebsd I would appreciate your thoughts and feedback on that topic. Thanks Roman Bogorodskiy
