amosI hold many controversial opinions. For example, I think that a process segfaulting inside of a VM should not be able to take down the host.
Unfortunately, I use macOS. Where it can. And does. To my chagrin.
Dr. Sobek@fasterthanlime whaaat ? How ?
Which hypervisor ?
@Sobex whatever OrbStack uses which I'm assuming is.. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization ?
@Sobex Maybe it's just like a bad interaction between many different things, but basically, whenever I'm debugging some intense memory corruption issue on the Linux box, and some other things are happening on the Mac, everything freezes, and the watchdog eventually reboots the computer.
Poliorcetics@fasterthanlime @Sobex I’ve experienced macOS full freeze just by opening a tab in Firefox window that was old and had sat unused for a few weeks, I’m not surprised a more complicated situation could make it reboot (but I am disappointed with Apple)
butternut@fasterthanlime @Sobex I’ve definitely had instances where stuff happening in the VM causes the Mac to reboot. Unfortunately it’s an unattended build machine so I don’t know exactly what caused it, and it hasn’t happened in a while. But yeah, I definitely have observed that happening with Virtualization.framework.
@butternut @Sobex Yeah, I think this failure mode is very easy to believe for anyone who's ever used a Mac.
Paullo@fasterthanlime @Sobex i had a similar issue whenever i updated some network interface configurations on my VM it would affect networking of the host to the point i lost internet connectivity.
