Hey all,
So i have an existing zpool and datasets available on my server. I create a new dataset for incus with zfs create incus, but i can’t seem to get incus to actually use it. When I use zfs and point incus storage to my dataset location, i still end up with an image at:
/var/lib/incus/disks/incus-zfs.img
What I want is for it to actually use my existing zfs dataset. How do i do this?
During incus admin init you can do that by answering no to the question about creating a new zpool, at which point you can provide an existing zpool or dataset name.
After incus admin init you can do it through incus storage create some-name zfs source=zpool/dataset
Thanks that worked. I was trying to do it through the web ui and i guess i was doing something wrong because when i set source to the same dataset on there, it just created a new image on the disk anyway instead of using my existing pool.
