Specify a path to a user share in which you wish to store the VM or specify an existing vDisk. The primary vDisk will store the operating system for your VM.
</p>
<p>
<b>NOTE</b>: Unraid will automatically "dereference" vdisk paths when starting a VM.
That is, if a vdisk path is specified as being on a user share, we use the SYSTEM.LOCATION extended attribute to find out what physical disk the image exists on.
We then pass this path when starting a VM via qemu. This ensures that VM I/O bypasses shfs (FUSE user share file system) for better performance.
It also means that a vdisk image file can be moved from one physical device to another without changing the VM XML file.
</p>
<p>
Example: /mnt/user/domains/Windows/vdisk1.img will be dereferenced to /mnt/cache/domains/Windows/vdisk1.img.

<b>vDisk Size</b><br>
Specify a number followed by a letter. M for megabytes, G for gigabytes.
