VirtualBox Raw Disk

[fyver]

Hi,

I currently have a machine running the latest Ubuntu version (Host) with VirtualBox on it running of a 1TB disk
The box has Freenas 8.2.0 Beta 4 running as a guest.

But now i wanted to import my 'old' Disks thad are in the server, a 1.5TB disk and a 3TB disk.
But I'm pretty new to Ubuntu and i don't know the whole proccess on how to do this.

What I did do is create a ZFS volume of a memory stick(8 GB) with 60 MB of files in it to test it.
Then i created a .VMDK file thad reffers to /dev/sdb1 with the command :

VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /home/kevinto/jaja.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sdb1

And then I redid the permissions because it wouldn't mount in virtualbox:

sudo chown -R kevin /dev/sdb1

Then it mounted and it showed up in virtualBox as a 2GB volume (????)
And now I can't mount it in freenas, what I mean is thad freenas does not recognises it as a ZFS volume so.

What do i have to do to make this work?

Thanks alot in advance if you can help me!

Kind Regards,
fyver

Fyver,

FreeBSD (UNIX) and Ubuntu (Linux) are 2 different operating systems (Unix is like the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Linux). Even though there are similarities, they work quite differently. My advice is to ask your Linux/Ubuntu question in a forum that supports that OS and not the FreeNAS forums.

Cheers,
