I do have a zfs pool where I store some vm.
One of these vm is pfSense.
When installing pfSense on the vm, the defaults are now to install it using zfs, which I did.
So far so good.

But why now when I run zpool import on the host I get the following :

root@pve:~# zpool import pool: pfSense id: 17089170925238434917 state: ONLINE status: One or more devices are configured to use a non-native block size. Expect reduced performance. action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier. config: pfSense ONLINE zd48 ONLINE

I mean, how come does the host sees the vm content ?
Is there any way to avoid that happening ?

Thanks :)
 
hi,

I mean, how come does the host sees the vm content ?
because the zd48 and its virtual blocks are still inside the /dev/ and /sys directory of the host.
you can see this with find / -name 'zd48*' 2>/dev/null (will list all files starting with zd48)

Is there any way to avoid that happening ?
are you having any issues?
