In working with TrueNas to provide virtualization for a larger number of VM's, I had some ideas:
1. Allow grouping of VMs in folders in the virtualization tab, possibly via tags?
2. When creating a VM zvol, since there is currently a limit of 63 characters, allow mapping longer paths to a placeholder hash, which would be discoverable from the UI, so that long names can be used without making a longer path.
3. When cloning a VM, avoid copying the entire name of the clone source, again to prevent going over the name length.
4. Adjust the position of the libvirt-sock so that virt-manager can easily connect and be used to manage VMs as well. Currently it is in /run/trunenas_libvirt/ but this is not the standard location for it. Even putting in a symbolic link with
[/var/run/libvirt]# ln -s ../truenas_libvirt/libvirt-sock libvirt-sock
works to enable this. That said, cloning of VMs through virt-manager doesn't appear to work...
