bhyve stuck

  Ok - this should result in the bhyve process exiting.

  It should be fine to restart after a bhyvectl --destroy

  This seems to be the culprit. What's the version of FreeBSD running on 
the host ?

  tychon@ did quite a bit of work recently on making the block layer 
more robust in the face of guest controller timeouts. This made it in to 
CURRENT as of r274330, and was MFCd to 10-STABLE with r276429. That 
change may help with your issue.

later,

Peter.
