FreeNAS 9.10.1: "VIMAGE (virtualized network stack) is a highly experimental feature"

[Stux]

I'm commissioning a 9.10.1 system

SuperMicro X10-SRi-F with Xeon E3-1650v4

While trawling the dmesg I noticed this rather concerning line:

WARNING: VIMAGE (virtualized network stack) is a highly experimental feature.

I had thought this was because of the SR-IOV I had enabled, but I disabled it and rebooted and it was still there...

I'd basically like to know if I can ignore this, or alternatively, what it means and how worried I should be.

I found this bug report #16917, but it was dismissed fairly summarily.

Willing to help.

If you don't use jails, ignore it. It's a jails thing.

If you do use jails, you'll have to read up on it and understand what is going on (to be honest, I haven't bothered to do so and only have a general idea).

Which says that this was accidentally enabled by default in PCBSD 10.3... 3 months ago
