A linux file-backed vm was created initially like this: truncate -s 2T linuxvm.img Within the vm, df -h reports 1.1Tb used in total. Externally, on the freebsd host, the linuxvm.img is 2Tb. If i write the vm to a 1.6Tb zvol with compression set (lz4), would it be feasible to expect the vm to work? I expect it might break the vm's filesystem internally, now, thinking about it. --
