[vm-bhyve] adding existing vm instances to the vm-bhyve system

[Jakub Chromy]

Hello "J",

so you'd like to manage your current bhyve guests with vm 
(https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve)?

Very easy.. just create a configuration for them. I use a /var/vm 
directory, here is my /etc/rc.conf

vm_enable="YES"
vm_dir="zfs:zpoolssd/vm"

-- 


    regards / s pozdravem
