https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250728 Bug ID: 250728 Summary: Filling smbios manufacturer and family string Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bhyve Assignee: virtualization@FreeBSD.org Reporter: olivier@freebsd.org Created attachment 219209 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=219209&action=edit patch filling manufacturer and family smbios field bhyve is not reporting smbios.system.maker neither smbios.system.family: It currently uses the standard method of one space character. But reporting this non-visible character create not-so-funny debugging session with tools parsing those field. So, to prevent returning this non-visible character my proposal is to improve bhyve to return those strings: smbios.system.family="Virtual Machine" smbios.system.maker="BHYVE" For information, Amazon Instances are reporting: smbios.system.family="Default string" smbios.system.maker="Amazon EC2" and VirtualBox VMs: smbios.system.family="Virtual Machine" smbios.system.maker="innotek GmbH" -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
