Creating VMs in separate ZFS filesystems

A dev split KVM/QEMU VMs out of a shared ZFS directory and into their own ZFS filesystems. Why? Snapshot rollbacks. Finer-grained storage control. Clean.

The new setup rides a fresh ZFS pool tuned with a 64KB recordsize for QCOW2 images. That lines up virtual disk performance with the real IO under the hood - no more mismatch bottlenecks.
