@wirestyle22 said in Large Linux Samba Server On Hyper-V 2012 R2 - Caveats? Best Practices?:
So does the host file system (NTFS) not manage the partition the VM file system is on (XFS)? Is that why @scottalanmiller is saying to separate the two? i'm a little confused how the two interact or if they interact directly/indirectly.
The VM's storage is just files. Literally each individual file system in the VM is a file on NTFS or ReFS. So from Hyper-V we see a series of files. To the VM they are normal disks.
