Where is my VM?

[behindtheviewfinder]

I've finished my build and started installing an Ubuntu VM i plan to use for some tasks. I wanted to archive the installation in a VM template but i cannot find the VM zvol anywhere.
In web gui it is shown in the expected place under SSD_256GB/VMs/Ubuntu, however if i ssh into the machine (or open a shell) /mnt/SSD_256GB/VMs/ is empty. Any idea where is my zvol?
Attached is a fragment of a web interface screenshot.

It's a ZVOL. It won't be mounted, so therefore you will not be able to see it in the file system. You can see it by running zfs list.

This is confusing, i'd at least expect the zvol to show up in my file list. Especially since the guide on creating a VM template mentions dd'ing the zvol into a file (https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-creating-your-own-vm-template.53999). Not sure how I'm supposed to do that if the zvol does not show up?

I do see that it's not mounted:

Code:

root@freenas:~ # zfs list

NAME														  USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT

SSD_256GB													23.4G   205G	88K  /mnt/SSD_256GB

SSD_256GB/VMs												20.3G   205G	88K  /mnt/SSD_256GB/VMs

SSD_256GB/VMs/Ubuntu										 20.3G   224G  1.51G  -

Ahh... and everything is clear now, I read through the guide again and saw the zvol under /dev/....
