One of the other VM clones is running. What do I need to do to mount the
sparse-zvol dataset that is this disk image that won't boot?

I'm still confused as to why one of these VM images would boot and not the
other. They are both Centos 7 1708. At any rate, before taking a chance of
shutting this image down, I'd appreciate any help to mount this other zvol
and make sure the crc feature is disabled.

Thanks
