Created attachment 252338 [details] raspberry pi imager frozen when it should recognize the sd card passed thru bhyve. Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 virtualized with bhyve using these parameters : /usr/sbin/./bhyve-lin -S -c sockets=2,cores=2,threads=2 -m 8G -w -H -A \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 1,ahci-hd,/mnt/$vmdisk4'p2'/bhyve/img/Linux/Ubuntu-2404-Android.img,bootindex=1 \ -s 2,ahci-hd,/dev/$vmdisk15 \ -s 8:0,passthru,2/0/0 \ -s 8:1,passthru,2/0/1 \ -s 8:2,passthru,2/0/2 \ -s 8:3,passthru,2/0/3 \ -s 11,hda,play=/dev/dsp,rec=/dev/dsp \ -s 13,virtio-net,tap9 \ -s 14,virtio-9p,sharename=/ \ -s 29,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5909,w=1600,h=950,wait \ -s 30,xhci,tablet \ -s 31,lpc \ -l bootrom,/usr/local/share/uefi-firmware/BHYVE_UEFI_CODE.fd \ vm0:9 < /dev/null & sleep 2 && vncviewer 0:9 Where /dev/$vmdisk15 is : Disk /dev/sdb: 953,68 GiB, 1024005767168 bytes, 2000011264 sectors Disk model: BHYVE SATA DISK Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: E0E79E7B-DC41-4DD7-9B8C-62B075FAF126 Dispositivo Start Fine Settori Size Tipo /dev/sdb1 2048 34815 32768 16M ChromeOS kernel /dev/sdb2 34816 67583 32768 16M ChromeOS kernel /dev/sdb3 67584 1116159 1048576 512M Linux filesystem /dev/sdb4 1116160 2000009215 1998893056 953,1G Linux filesystem My intention was to write the Lineage OS to the sd card using the Raspberry PI Imager,without to rebooting and without using Linux natively. Well,it is not able to detect my sd card (that I have placed inside my SD card TO USB adapter). The images below shows that the sd card passed through bhyve is not recognized by the RaspBerry Pi Imager,that freezes. What can I do to unfreezes it ? Let us know,thanks.

Opened a bug ticket on the rpi-imager github : https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-imager/issues/898
Bhyve can't pass thru USB drives. Its a not implemented function. I think that a patch that convert the disk from SATA to USB is needed....or better,that allows to identify the disk as USB disk and not as SATA disk.
