I wrote something down on Github and would love to hear your feedback.

Hi! When I move a VM's storage from `local-lvm` to a TrueNAS Core based ZFS volume over iSCSI, I get the following warning: Task viewer: VM 102 - Move disk create full clone of drive scsi0 (local-lvm:vm-102-disk-0) Warning: volblocksize (4096) is less than the default minimum block size...
