Moving Virtual Box VM's?

[nattan]

Hello,

I am currently running my jails on a SSD to help improve load times along with a raidz-2 configuration for long term data storage, but the VMS are starting to take up a lot of space on the SSD so I would like to move my Virtual Box disks to the main raidz-2 pool while keeping the main jails configuration my ssd drive.

I think I can move the files over to the raid-z2 then mount the data to the following location, but I am not sure if this will cause any issues. So any suggestions to prevent having to rebuild the jails drive?
/mnt/SSD/Jails/VirtualBox/usr/home/vbox/VirtualBox VMs to
/mnt/Raid-z2/VVMs

Which solution did you decide upon?

Move your VirtualBox VM files to wherever you want, then add the storage in the jail: http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/jails.html#add-storage

You will of course may need to re-configure your VMs so that the virtual disks are pointing at the right path.
