Do people really create zpools within a VM for more than playing around?
The best practice is to point a VM at a zvol the way you might use LVM on bare metal to back storage for VMs.
- ianai 6y agoRight. The storage pool for VMs should be zfs (if you’re going to use zfs as an assumption) while the VMs should be something else unless you’re doing something specific to use zfs in the VM. Zfs is engineered to almost turn a system into a file system server in exclusion so use it for its strengths appropriately.
