Notes

  1. Suggest to Label Disk Devices to avoid ROOT MOUNT ERROR during startup.

  2. The virtual DVD drive may not be recognized when BIS drivers are loaded on FreeBSD 8.x and 9.x unless you enable the legacy ATA driver through the following command.

    # echo ‘hw.ata.disk_enable=1' >> /boot/loader.conf
    # shutdown -r now
    
  3. 9126 is the maximum supported MTU size.

  4. In a failover scenario, you cannot set a static IPv6 address in the replica server. Use an IPv4 address instead.

  5. KVP is provided by ports on FreeBSD 10.0. See the FreeBSD 10.0 ports on FreeBSD.org for more information.

  6. To make VHDX online resizing work properly in FreeBSD 11.0, a special manual step is required to work around a GEOM bug which is fixed in 11.0+, after the host resizes the VHDX disk - open the disk for write, and run “gpart recover” as the following.

    # dd if=/dev/da1 of=/dev/da1 count=0
    # gpart recover da1
    

Additional Notes: The feature matrix of 10 stable and 11 stable is same with FreeBSD 11.1 release. In addition, FreeBSD 10.2 and previous versions (10.1, 10.0, 9.x, 8.x) are end of life. Please refer here for an up-to-date list of supported releases and the latest security advisories.
