--000000000000f98203060ed69d94 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Sairaj, Thanks for your interest in the FreeBSD project. We've been around for a long time, and sometimes ideas on our ideas page are sometimes a bit old. The Solaris Doors project was done a few years ago at https://github.com/bnovkov/freebsd-doors so might not be a good choice. I'm not familiar with the bhyve integration one. John Baldwin would be the best person to answer that question. gdb works well enough for me, but this one may still be relevant since I think it would greatly improve performance. Another idea in line with your virtualization would be to implement virtiofs on FreeBSD. We have virtual network, block , console, etc, but not virtiofs. This is basically FUSE over virtio channels, and isn't too big of a project that would let you use your virtualization experience and learn about filesystems. There might be other projects as well. This is the one that occurs to me.
