October 31, 20178 yr Hello, I am new to unraid. I run a lot of VMs. I never use the C: of my VM's to do anything other than drive the OS. I always have a 2nd drive that I use for everything else (D: if you will). This is standard practice in a corporate environment but I am not finding this sort of question asked much if at . Is there some way for me to allocate 50gb from my NAS and use it as a vdisk (the same way a SAN does)? I have no interest in assigning an entire drive. It could be that I am stupider than most, but however this is accomplished it not obvious to me at all. Please help!

If you've made any manual tweaks to your VM XML, making changes to the VM template may wipe them out. If there is any doubt, I'd clone the XML to a new template, make sure it works, and then makes the charges to the original template. If you run into any problems, the clone template that you know works is there. You can delete the clone after the original is successfully updated and tested. Or better yet, update the clone to match the updated original. Having a backup template when you have manual template updates is a good idea. Be careful when removing clone templates that you don't select the option to delete the associated vdisk files!
