I have no experience with VirtIO drivers, and am trying to figure out if it's possible to use them on this server.The server is a FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE host and ZFS file system, with a Virtual Box-based Windows Server 2003 guest that's used as a terminal server for 10 users on average. The Windows guest currently uses the Virtualbox Intel 1gb NIC driver.I can find very little documentation for VirtIO on FreeBSD, so it's unclear to me if I can just install VirtIO drivers for windows, build the VirtIO kernel module (from ports?), reconfigure VirtualBox, and have everything just work.Does anybody have experience with any kind of similar setup?Update: I'm not sure I understand the downvote. My apologies if this was an inapropriate question for ServerFault.

The drivers from emulators/virtio-kmod didn't interfere, probably because I had them already in my kernel. After the reboot everything worked so I removed the package and rebooted again to make sure. After the reboot everything worked so I removed the package and rebooted again to make sure. The Virtio driver for Windows 2016 server is supported in Freenas 11 RC4? You probably need to install a driver. I have same problem With the NIC with Windows server 2016.
