TrueNAS SCALE is a type-1 hypervisor solution that adds Linux Containers, VMs (KVM) and is based on Debian (11) and QEMU KVM.
KVM is capable of using "files base storage" as well as "disk based storage" for the VM virtual disks.
At this point I'm confused. It does not make any sense for me.
Why Scale is not capable of providing virtualization with file based storage for VMs and only block device (z-vol) storage?
Why can't we simply create a VM with the virtual disk in a shared dataset (for example SMB). Some people are used with the flexibility of having a VM is a file.
Why this crippled functionality?
Is it necessary to officially ask for a feature request?
