Hi everyone, I know the VM storage on file vs block is a debate going on and on.
I noticed that TrueNas Scale allows VM disks only on block devices. But the majority of hypervisors give both possibilities.
Having a VM in a file allows you to copy them, to edit, or clone / replicate them. That’s great.
I don't think not being able to do that is a limitation of ZFS itself but more a limitation of Scale.
I know Scale is pretty young, but is there any plan to do that in the future?
An answer would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot
