Retrieving a failed VM after Fangtooth upgrade

Ok, I got to the bottom if it.

The reason my volume wasn’t showing in /dev/zvol was because the block had a volmode of none. It needs to be dev to show up as a device.

sudo /usr/sbin/zfs set volmode=dev Storage/.ix-virt/custom/default_Windows10_Office

Now I can see it and dd.

The virtual machine booted immediately on my desktop and I could retrieve the things I needed.

This evening has been a learning experience :slight_smile:
