    TL;DR


Create 10GB FreeBSD image using QEMU.
Run the VM using xhyve.
Mount host directory.
Resize the image.

Requisites


OSX
Homebrew
xhyve

$ brew install xhyve --HEAD


QEMU

$ brew install qemu


FreeBSD installer. Download from https://www.freebsd.org/where.html

Create Virtual Machine


This Example creates 10GB image.

$ cd /Path/to/workdir
$ qemu-img create -f raw VM10G.raw 10G
Formatting 'VM10G.raw', fmt=raw size=10737418240
$ ls
FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso	VM10G.raw

Install FreeBSD

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -hda VM10G.raw -cdrom FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'VM10G.raw' and probing guessed raw.
         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

QEMU window will open. Install FreeBSD.
Run The VM Using xhyve

#1

Before using xhyve, run the vm using qemu.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -hda VM10G.raw

Change GEOM name 'ada0' to 'vtbd0'.
Change /etc/fstab:
# Device        Mountpoint      FStype  Options Dump    Pass#
/dev/ada0p2    /               ufs     rw      1       1
/dev/ada0p3    none            swap    sw      0       0

to
# Device        Mountpoint      FStype  Options Dump    Pass#
/dev/vtbd0p2    /               ufs     rw      1       1
/dev/vtbd0p3    none            swap    sw      0       0

Note: We're changing the devices from /dev/ada*** to /dev/vtbd***.
And set DHCP to vtnet0 interface.
Edit /etc/rc.conf
ifconfig_vtnet0="DHCP"

Shut it down and close the qemu window.
#2

Create running script.
xhyverun-freebsd.sh
#!/bin/sh

USERBOOT="/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library/Caches/Homebrew/xhyve--git/test/userboot.so"
BOOTVOLUME="VM10G.raw"
KERNELENV=""

MEM="-m 2G"
SMP="-c 2"
IMG_HDD="-s 4:0,virtio-blk,$BOOTVOLUME"
PCI_DEV="-s 0:0,hostbridge -s 31,lpc"
LPC_DEV="-l com1,stdio"
NET="-s 2:0,virtio-net"

# UUID="-U deaddead-dead-dead-dead-deaddeaddead"

xhyve -A $MEM $SMP $PCI_DEV $LPC_DEV $NET $IMG_CD $IMG_HDD $UUID -f fbsd,$USERBOOT,$BOOTVOLUME,"$KERNELENV"

The testboot.so file can also be found in the xhyve repository under the test directory, if you'd like to store it somewhere else.
Run the FreeBSD VM.
$ sudo ./xhyverun-freebsd.sh

If you got following mount error, you may be forgeting #1.
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ada0p2 [rw]...
mountroot: waiting for device /dev/ada0p2 ...
Mounting from ufs:/dev/ada0p2 failed with error 19.

Loader variables:
  vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ada0p2
  vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device> [options]
      Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
      and with the specified (optional) option list.

    eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
        zfs:tank
        cd9660:/dev/acd0 ro
          (which is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0 /)

Mount Host Directory


Reference machyve/xhyve#45

On Host(192.168.64.1)

$ sudo touch /etc/exports
$ sudo emacs /etc/exports

Edit /etc/exports (exports(5))
/PATH/TO/EXPORTDIR -mapall=501 -network 192.168.64.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

Reread file (nfsd(8))
$ sudo nfsd update

On VM

Mount
# mkdir /usr/home/YOU/host-shared
# sudo mount 192.168.64.1:/PATH/TO/EXPORTDIR /usr/home/YOU/host-shared

Unmount
# mount
/dev/vtbd0p2 on / (ufs, local, journaled soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
192.168.64.1:/PATH/TO/EXPORTDIR on /usr/home/YOU/host-shared (nfs)
# sudo umount 192.168.64.1:/PATH/TO/EXPORTDIR

Resizing and Growing Disks


Reference https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/disks-growing.html

Resize VM size on Host. This example 10GB -> 15GB.
$ qemu-img resize VM10G.raw 15GB

Grow the UFS file system
# growfs /dev/vtbd0p2
Device is mounted read-write; resizing will result in temporary write suspension for /.
It's strongly recommended to make a backup before growing the file system.
OK to grow filesystem on /dev/vtbd0p2, mounted on /, from 9.5GB to 14GB? [Yes/No] Yes
super-block backups (for fsck_ffs -b #) at:
 20516032, 21798272, 23080512, 24362752, 25644992, 26927232, 28209472

Check the resized file system.
# df -h
Filesystem      Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/vtbd0p2     14G    1.9G     11G    16%    /
devfs           1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev

You might want to consider renaming the raw file since it is no longer 10 GB.
Enjoy!
