Zvol Virtual machine

[Ger]

Hi everyone, I have a Truenas Scale server with an external usb hard drive connected on which I do the replicas of the zvol volumes of some virtual machines. To check the consistency of the replicas I tried to create a virtual machine using one of the replicas as a disk. The problem arises when I have to choose the volume, it does not appear on the list of the replica disk. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

Is the USB hard drive formatted with as a ZFS pool or just the replicated zvol?

Yes, the drive is zfs formatted

Check zfs get readonly pool/location/zvol

I guess you won't be proposed readonly zvols to use for VM disks.
