Hyper-V Disk not showing up in pool, expected behavior?

[tony95]

I would suggest that you find a way to pass a whole controller to the NAS OS. If you don't, I think you are setting yourself up for failure.

We have seen it happen before. It isn't a matter of if it will happen, just when...

What have you seen before? As long as I have 6 disks intact I can move them anywhere and recover my data. I am not understanding the risk.

That works if the controller is passed through, but have you tried to take the disks out of hyper-v and connect them to a physical host? One of the things we have seen is that the hypervisor mangles that data so the NAS OS can't use it. Do some searching on the forum.

I did test it with a few virtual hard drives no problem, this guy did it with VMWare (link below). I am pretty sure the VM doesn't do anything to the disks. I also removed and re-added 2 drives and no problems. If something goes wrong I will let you know, but this box will be going for a while I think. If it does, that would suck, but I will live. It is not mission critical or anything.
