Trying to decide what OS to use on my new NAS for purely shared storage

For just running simple VMs. You can run them on scale.

And you can probably even port their disk images across.

And you can easily convert vm images to ZVOL

qemu-img convert -O raw <path to vhd/vmdk/etc> /dev/zvol/path/to/zvol

Can take a while. Good idea to run in tmux
