    Hi.
    So decided to move one of my VMs to cache:
    Powered down VM.
    Moved the .img to cache drive.

    Went in to Update VM with new settings, in "form view" and just clicked my way to the new location.
    Hit Update and Started the VM.
    The VM did not boot, just got stuck in UEFI prompt. Could not get it to boot.
    Switched back to old VM image, also did not boot. Panic began to set in as this is my main Firewall, pfSense.
    Created new VM, pointed to image and the new VM booted. Wtf yo!
    Checked the XMLview for differences and found that for some unknown reason, the img type was set to "raw" instead of "qcow2"...

    Now I have limited knowledge and time to fully test this, I am a linux n00b and mostly rely on nice GUI's, but as there is no way to set "type" in "form view" my guess is that something is changing this automatically behind the scenes and messed up my config. The VM was working fine across several reboots of Unraid so it can't have happened all by itself?
