I think it's a great idea, I've been looking at allot of vm work too and that sounds like fruitful research.

Especially excited to learn more about filesystems

Subject: [BALUG-Talk] Possible topic(s) for 2025-05-20 BALUG meeting (storage, ...)
So, was thinking, possible topic(s) for 2025-05-20 BALUG meeting.
I had in mind, potentially something (like/approximating):
Storage (partitioning, ext{2|3}4}, md, LVM, LUKS, ZFS, migrating,
modernizing, growing, shrinking, etc.)

Probably most notably since I've been doing some more mucking about
with most all of that recently - looking at some drive upgrades
(notably capacity increases), and been doing fair bit of planning and
testing (mostly on VMs) to test out various scenarios, and also
determine how I want to get from where I/we are, to where I/we want to
be (some of the storage layout hasn't been significantly redesigned in
well over a decade).

Could also talk about Ventoy (also been doing some testing of that
recently - pretty nifty, but alas, doesn't handle all bootable
images), or of course other topic(s) folks might be interested in.

So, thoughts/suggestions on topic(s) for 2025-05-20 meeting?
