bhyve bhyve, passthru cause mrsas to fail

[nerozero]

Hello,

The story:
we needed dedicated USB port on windows machine on bhyve so we installed a dedicated USB host controller: uPD720202 USB 3.0 Host Controller detached it and attached ppt driver to it :

devctl detach pci0:1:0:0 && devctl set driver pci0:1:0:0 ppt

~~~ vm config win7 ~~~
------ 8<------
passthru0="1/0/0"
------ 8<------
~~~ end vm config win7 ~~~

The vm starts successfully, and usb is visible and working OK,
but, there is always "but...", soon after error messages appears on the screen:

from which hard discs become offline, system doesn't responds at all, not even to shutdown -r and after 20 minutes or so system automatically reboots ...
sometimes this errors doesn't even logged into /var/log/messages ...

without pass thru usb - windows machine works absolutely normal ... (The only reason for windows machine is to host Aladin HASP USB key)

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Did you try adding it to loader.conf pptdevs="1/0/0" instead ? I think I have the exact same usb controller card, .. which I used to passthrough in freebsd 11.2, though I didn't have a sas3 card on that system.

Ofloo, thank you for reply. This doing literally the same but during booting process. Yes I have tried that way to, result where the same.
