01:52:46 <tozhu> hello all, I’m going to create a bhyve vm with 1T disk space, but when I run ‘vmadm create -f vmdefile’,  I got the error as following: first of 1 error: first of 1 error: vminfod watchForChanges "VM.js startZone (78e94720-d617-451f-bcf2-261e5cf46670)" timeout exceeded ,  my question is smartos supports large disk for a bhye vm?
01:53:52 <tozhu> how to make sure would create a vm with large disk? eg need 1T space; where is code needs to modified? best wishes
02:44:44 <gemelen> tozhu: I wasn't sure that any limit exists so I just tried and my attempt to create a bhyve zone with a 1TB disk went without errors. I'd assume you bumped into an issue not related to the disk size itself
03:44:20 <sommerfeld> tozhu left but might look at logs.   I'd be more inclined to suspect an issue assembling the memory needed for the VM, not the disk space.
03:45:01 <sommerfeld> I've seen bhyve (on illumos, though not smartos) take a long time starting on a system that was short of free memory.
03:46:23 <jbk> yeah, though some of the bits that got added should mitigate that...
03:47:10 <jbk> before that, the mechanism to evict things to free up memory for bhyve was broken
04:27:55 <jbk> (but in a non-obvious way, but all of that code I believe i gone)
05:18:11 <gemelen> when I run bhyve manually (to create an image for a zone), it sometimes not able to launch for different reasons related to obtaining resources, though
09:49:31 <tozhu> gemelen: thank you for response, my storage is a pool on 10* mirrored vdev on 20* 10k disks, do you use SSD (NVMe) or your environments?
17:53:21 <gemelen> tozhu: in my case it's just a 4 hdd raidz1. What are all the errors you see (from the vmadm and from the zones/<id>/logs)?
