Hi .
I might be a bit crazy but I'm running my ZFS file server on top of Hyper-V : )
I already moved my ~5TB worth of data there , and everything seems rock stable .
Using Hyper-V's Internal Switch , I was able to saturate the 10GB link between the host (W8.1) and the guest (Arch Linux + ZFS on Linux) in Crystal Disk benchmark (5 drives RAIDZ2) . Pretty cool stuff .
I'm passing all those HDDs directly to the VM .
The issue that I'm having is the Hyper-V doesn't passthrough the REAL drives' IDs , usually when you do :
ls /dev/disk/by-id/
You get the full drive ID , Serial Number , Manufacturer , etc . that helps you in identifying which disk is which (excellent for troubleshooting) .
But that is not the case in Hyper-V , instead you recieve some randomly generated numbers :
Any way to fix this ?
Thanks !
