FreeNAS Beta-3 VM reboot

[Rickinfl]

Hi,

Not sure if this is just me or not. Is anyone else having this issue?

If you login to a VM like Windows or Linux and tell it to reboot, it doesn't the VM just shuts down.

Are you rebooting from within the VM or from the FreeNAS GUI? If from the FreeNAS GUI as I suspect, this is expected. the only way to do a clean shutdown from OUTSIDE the VM is via ACPI. There is no proper reboot.
They could send SIGTERM, wait for the process to exit and start it again but this is not the same as a "reboot". The should have 5 buttons named as follows:
Power On - Normal start
ACPI Shutdown - SIGTERM
Power Off --force-poweroff
Power Cycle --force-reset
Restart - SIGTERM wait for process to exit, Normal start.

I get the feeling that the VM UI has been little more than an afterthought.

It is not a UI issue. When you ssh into a guest OS and do shutdown -r now, the VM shuts down and stays down instead of coming back up.

Possibly this one raised it's head again:

I ssh into my Linux Server and tell it to reboot and it shuts down. I have to login to FreeNAS and click start button to get it to start back up.
