I'm going to let you in on a trick I do all the time for quick and dirty VMs, ready....
touch vmimage.raw truncate -s 32G ls -l vmimage.raw -rw-rw-r-- 1 markw markw 34359738368 Jul 29 13:29 vmimage.raw Then use that as storage for the VM. It is a thin provisioned raw image. Or, if you have ZFS create a ZVOL. > On 7/29/22 09:08, [email protected] wrote: >> Today, the infrastructure, KVM and virt-manager make it trivial. > > I got as for as playing with virt-manager GUI stuff, but it wasn't yet > easy.
