Moving zfs volume from incus to host

1

Hi, I came to the conclusion that the pain points from containers/virutalization aren’t worth it for a couple of my instances so I’d like to move them to be ran directly on host.

Is there a way of doing this without having to copy data?
The main problem is that I have a zfs pool mapped to incus for a volume that’s taking up about 70% of space from that pool, and it won’t fit on any of my other media. I can set a mountpoint on the zfs volume, but incus will remount it to how it needs it as long as the incus volume exists, but deleting the incus volume would throw away the data

It depends on how you’ve got ZFS setup.
If Incus is a dataset within a larger pool, say, it’s at tank/incus, you could zfs rename your dataset (tank/incus/custom/FOO) to another location (tank/FOO) and then zfs create an empty dataset at the old location (tank/incus/custom/FOO) so you can then incus storage volume delete that empty volume.
