        Interesting...I cannot say anything about a virtual environment as I have physical drive; however imagine it would be very similar.

        pfSense+ 23.09 Lenovo Thinkcentre M93P SFF Quadcore i7 dual Raid-ZFS 128GB-SSD 32GB-RAM PCI-Intel i350-t4 NIC, -Intel QAT 8950.
        pfSense+ 23.09 VM-Proxmox, Dell Precision Xeon-W2155 Nvme 500GB-ZFS 128GB-RAM PCIe-Intel i350-t4, Intel QAT-8950, P-cloud.

          With two virtual drives you can still recover one from the other if the filesystem is somehow damaged beyond repair.

          I don't think I've ever seen it done though. Generally if you're running on a hypervisor you probably have a UPS.
