[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello. What I want to achieve is to pass thru two of my NTFS "formatted" disks to a Windows 11 VM,but without passing them thru using the USB controller in FreeBSD with a bhyve virtual machine (in the example below I tried to boot Windows 11 from the nvme disk nvd0) AT at the same time I want to pass thru my graphic card to a Windows 11 and / or Linux VM. I'm using this FreeBSD version : *FreeBSD marietto 13.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE #5 n244809-dff3dead3734: Wed Feb 23 13:16:32 CET 2022 marietto@marietto:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64* I've configured the bhyve VM like this : *bhyve -S -c sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2 -m 4G -w -H -A \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 1,ahci-hd,/dev/nvd0 \ -s 2,virtio-blk,/dev/da4 \ -s 3,virtio-blk,/dev/da2 \ -s 4:0,passthru,2/0/0 \ -s 4:1,passthru,2/0/1 \ -s 4:2,passthru,2/0/2 \ -s 4:3,passthru,2/0/3 \ -s 8,virtio-net,tap2 \ -s 9,virtio-9p,sharename=/ \ -s 10,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \ -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5902 <http://0.0.0.0:5902>,w=1440,h=900 \ -s 30,xhci,tablet \ -s 31,lpc \ -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_BHF_CODE.fd \ vm2 < /dev/null & sleep 2 && vncviewer 0:2* These are the NTFS disks that I would like to see inside the Windows 11 guest os : -s 2,virtio-blk,/dev/da4 \ -s 3,virtio-blk,/dev/da2 \ * => 34 19532873661 da4 GPT (9.1T) 34 32734 1 ms-reserved (16M) 32768 19532838912 2 ms-basic-data (9.1T) 19532871680 2015 - free - (1.0M) => 34 23437705149 da2 GPT (11T) 34 2014 - free - (1.0M) 2048 23437701120 1 ms-basic-data (11T) 23437703168 2015 - free - (1.0M)* Using the whole disks in bhyve they are recognized by fdisk. But as I said,what matters a lot for me,is to boot the nvme physical disk passing through at the same time my graphic card but it does not work. I care so much about this feature,because Ubuntu boots much much faster if I use the physical disk instead of the img / raw file. And this is again more valid if I want to boot Windows 11. It gets frozen e if I use a raw / img disk. I can't use it. But if I use the nvme disk where I have installed it physically it is much,much faster and I can use it. This is what happens : (linux and windows 11 installed on the disk nvme don't boot) https://forums.freebsd.org/attachments/screenshot_2022-03-13_16-35-42-jpg.13323/ I will keep the discussion updated also here : *https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/usb-3-0-disks-not-recognized-by-windows-if-passed-through-as-slots.84402/#post-559892 <https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/usb-3-0-disks-not-recognized-by-windows-if-passed-through-as-slots.84402/#post-559892>* -- Mario.
