Propagating recent improvements to Home Assistant OS VM script to past deployment

[dimatx]

@tteck, based on your change log notes RE: Home Assistant OS VM from 2022-07-24, can a HA VM created with a prior version of the script take advantage of what sounds like good improvements?

[tteck]

Yep,
Click on VM > Hardware > Hard Disk > Edit
enable the following

Then reboot VM. I don’t know if previous unused blocks will be removed (doubtful).

Thanks. Will give that a shot!

And thanks for this scripts repository. It is very valuable.

Stumbled upon this and made those changes myself. Thanks! I also compared the rest of the configs in the Options with those of mine and I saw a difference in the OS Type. You have Linux 5. x - 2.6 Kernel here and I have Other. My VM has been running without issue on Other for months now, but was curious whether there is a benefit - or the reasons thereof - for specifying the OS as Linux?

This is used to enable special optimization/features for specific operating systems
