Hopefully, this is a simple question.
I have an existing 16TB volume that I use to store all of my media on. About 50% is used. I want to experiment with virtual machines. Reading through the manual, it says that I need to create a zvol for the VM. If I create a 128GiB zvol on the existing volume, will it affect the files already stored on that volume?
I am probably being paranoid, but since I have only used Freenas for file serving and a couple of plugins, a little paranoia seems about right.
Thanks in advance.
