A possibly new user needs some question answered before the jump

hi Jim, it is not as simple as it seams
I do not want VM with BTRFS.
I already have a host machine I want to use as VM server.
this machine is a 24 disk super micro server. so I want to use it as a VM server and as DAS. all drives would be in the host and provided to the clients, VM and real, as shared space. I want to use BTRFS on this drives as it provides safeguards for data, rot protection, a built in raid etc.
I want to load the NS on the Host and manage all with it.
will see. so far the NS 7 is not stable for me. I load it up in VM , looks nice but gives me errors when I try to change settings or install apps. something like this "Task completed with errors Applying changes #2 (exit status 1)" . so back to the drawing board. but will keep an eye on this and see if RC is more stable when it comes.
