<br><div>
I'm going to ask another question about the behavior,because I
want to understand if I'm dealing with a bug or with a regular method of
working. So,please be patient with me. What I want to achieve is to
pass thru two of my NTFS "formatted" disks to a Windows 11 VM,but
without passing them thru using the USB controller in FreeBSD with a
bhyve virtual machine (in the example below I tried to boot Windows 11
from the nvme disk nvd0. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm using this FreeBSD version :</div>

I've configured the bhyve VM like this :<br><div>

As you can see I've used the virtio-blk driver,so inside the Windows 11 VM
I've installed the latest version of the virtio drivers. You can see
what's the problem by taking a look at the images below. They are 0 byte
large,so they aren't recognized by Windows 11. Is this a bug or what ?
I've also used the ahci-hd driver but I've got the same result. They are
USB 3.0 disks.<br clear="all"><div><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_l0p6wq480" alt="1.jpg" width="484" height="272"><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_l0p6xb4c1" alt="2.jpg" width="484" height="272"><br></div><div>I've tried also :<br></div><div><pre dir="ltr"><b><code>bhyve -S -c sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2 -m 4G -w -H -A \
