Hi all, I am new to Qubes OS. I would like to use StandaloneHVM to virtualize FreeNAS fo r learning purpose. I am looking for a way to add many virtual hard drive to the VM so I can to play and learn about ZFS. How do I add multiple virtual hard drive to a StandaloneHVM?

I'm sure there's a better/more straightforward way to do this, but off- hand the two methods I know would be creating partitions either during installation, or via live usb after installation. I don't have particular experience with FreeNAS, but most modern installation processes have the ability to create multiple partitions during installation. Either way, start off with your choice of size of private memory cumulatively, then partition as necessary. To do via live OS which was my initial instinct use: qvm-start --cdrom=$BlockorisoID $VMNAME ie, qvm-start --cdrom=sys-usb:1.5-4 FreeNAS Then use your choice of fdisk/parted/gparted/etc. Make sure the iso is available as a block, or if you're willing to accept the risk of USB passthrough, or trying to directly load through another VM. If you need to check available devices use qvm-device or derivatives. Let me know if you have any questions about this, or I'm always appreciative of learning more efficient manners of task completion if someone has a more efficient way to do this. Granted, you could also just attach them with qvm-device and label it as persistent, so I guess in writing my response I may have found a more efficient way to technically accomplish this, but using partitions as opposed to additional persistent block devices just feels a lot more proper to me. Less overlap of VMs. -- Cordially, Emlay She/Her/Hers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
