Hello all, questions like this keep me awake at night so though I would ask it!
If I use FreeNAS as storage for my Hyper V VHD/VHDx virtual disks (be it iScsi or a folder share \\servername\VHDs) and the VHDs are then formatted in NTFS, the data stored on the NTFS VHDs is still susceptible to "bit-rot" or data corruption as if they were a physical disk - Correct? All ZFS will do in this case is ensure that the VHD files will be 100% ok but not the Data in them that the Virtual OS has written to the VHD disk?
Is that a correct assumption?
Thanks,
Tom
