Hello,
May I know what is the biggest disk you ever assigned to your VM (Win/Linux) before and any issue?

biggest disk on your vm
- Thread starter kellogs
- Start date
When you assign more disks to your setup how do you do it? And are your disks full encrypted?Just assigned an additional 21TB disk image to rocky8.8 vm, did a fs, mount and works but maybe that's not even not enough you want to hear ...
On the left select your vm, in the middle select hardware, select add disk and choose your typ and size.
In the vm do mkfs on new device and mount or encrypt eg. with luks, encrypt, mkfs and mount.
Hi kellogs, is there any particular reason why you are asking this question?
Hi there
Yes i would like to know what is an acceptable size otherwise I might use a network share for a VM so in the event of VM restoration and backup, it would be much faster.
Doesn't that largely depend on what you are planning to do with the VM in question?Hi there

yes and no actually. my main concern is the time taken to restore in the event of disaster especiallty when using huge size vm disk. For such I could mitigate it by having the OS on the VM disk and data on a network share (NFS/SMB).
That seems sensible.
But I would still think about what it is you want to do with the VM so you can optimally allocate resources.
