I just updated my server to version 25.04, and it seems we’ve lost the ability to pass a ZVOL as a VM disk if the ZVOL is stored on a pool other than the one selected as the virtualization pool in the Pool dropdown.
The error message I’m seeing is:
zvol is not located in pool configured as a virt storage pool.
This is a deal breaker for me. Running PBS as VM (Root Disk on SSD pool), but I need to pass a zvol (on my HDD pool) to the VM to use as PBS datastore.
Same situation here with PBS, I need to mount a zvol from my HDD dataset.
This is quite a breaking change and should likely be listed in the upgrade notes.
I think i saw a similar problem and have a quick question:
Does the pool for the secondary zvol have a space in the name? Because there’s an upstream incus bug that prevents incus from seeing pools with spaces in the name.
There is not currently UI support for using more than one pool in Instances. The backend support is there in .0 but the UI doesn’t expose those options yet. It will be included in 25.04.1.
While waiting for 25.04.1 to add support through the UI, you can use the incus cli and attach a zvol to an instance:
incus config device add <vm> <zvol-name> disk source=/dev/zvol/<pool>/<test-zvol> io.bus=virtio-blk
Excuse my ignorance, but this was marked as the solution for my problem of attaching my 6TB VM with a ProxmoxPBS install on it, but I am afraid I don’t know what to enter in the script above to get it to be “imported” into the new TrueNAS version.
Can someone help me with what/where I get the information to plug into this script? I think the only thing I may know to plug into this is perhaps what my zvol-name is.
Also from trial and failure it would seem to me this needs run in 24.10.2.2. I have tried everything I can think to do this with and failed. In addition, it was mentioned this would be “fixed” in v25.04.1 and I can find no way to do it in the UI of the new version either.
This is pretty critical for me as this VM holds all of my backup data and I can’t afford to either lose it or have to reinstall it as that process requires the same functionality of importing a virtual machine in a 6TB zvol.
Commands that output what I should plug into the script above would be most helpful, or where to look to find the variables would allow me to move forward with this problem and permanently update to v25.04.1.Thank you in advance and I apologize for my ignorance in this matter.
