After stoping and starting the colima vm cluster is lost when using `vz`

[pmalek]

Description

While using vz I've noticed that when I stop and start the machine the cluster is lost.

The cluster is preserved when I drop --vm-type vz.

Do you mean you change VM type of an existing instance to vz? You are actually not supposed to toggle the VM type of an existing instance.

Sorry for not being clear on this. I meant when I change this during creation. I'm not changing for an existing instance.

Since the last big upgrade of Colima I experience the same. After OS restart starting Colima al is gone, docker ps-a is empty, the created volumes are also gone. Using Macbook Pro (AMD) and Qemu.

% colima start --network-address  --cpu 6 --memory 8 --disk 100
% docker volume create oracle
% colima stop
% colima start
% docker volume ls
DRIVER    VOLUME NAME

It seems the environment does not persist, even the profile is still there. This behavior was not there in the past.
