Proxmox 1.7 pfsense 2.0.1 and virtio problems
-
Hello All,
I am desparately trying to get work the virtio drivers with my pfSense firewall in a proxmox environment.
why i need:
For me it is essential to use virtio since the performance is an important factor in my environment.
what I did:
1. I gave try to these precompiled freebsd modules: http://people.freebsd.org/~kuriyama/virtio/
without any luck since pfSense based on FreeBsd 8.0.
2. In this forum there was also a precompiled driver what I installed and it seemed it worked,
but surprisingly only if just one interface is virtio based in pfSense. The problem if I have two virtio interfaces then no traffic
passes through the pfSense. (if I change back to the relnet based interface in proxmox then everything works fine)Since I am new at FreeBSD platform can someone give a guidenance how would I have virtio drivers on pfSense 2.0.1?
Searched back and forth but I did not find the answer.thanks,

Let me answer my post. I wrote an email to Jun Kuriyama who compiled the virtio kernel modules for FreeBSD 8.2 and 9.0.
He was very kind to answer and his answer is:"Sorry, source fo virtio cannot be compiled with 8.1 src tree (lack of required function in kernel)."
So this is bad news. :-[
from pfSense side: any plan to move to FreeBSD 8.2 ? -
Have You tried Proxmox 1.9 beta?
I'm also waiting for virtio drivers support.
