External Drive Support for UTM virtual machines

[JoeCotellese]

So that I have more control over disk usage on my machine, As a UTM user, I can run UTM images on external drives.

Acceptance Test - Create Disk Image on External Drive

• Given I have an external drive connected to my machine,
• When I create a new disk image in the UTM application,
• Then I should be able to select the external drive as the storage location,
• And a performance warning should pop up informing me about potential issues with using an external drive.

Acceptance Test - Move Disk Image to External Drive

• Given I have an external drive connected to my machine,
• And I have an existing disk image stored on my internal drive,
• When I move the disk image to the external drive using the UTM application,
• Then the operation should complete successfully,
• And a performance warning should pop up informing me about potential issues with using an external drive.

Acceptance Test - Restrict NAS Drive Usage

• Given I have a NAS drive connected to my network,
• When I try to create or move a disk image to the NAS drive using the UTM application,
• Then the application should not allow the operation,
• And I should receive an error message stating that NAS drives are not supported.

Since some copy (move) operations can be very long running it would be good for this to be shown as in progress with a bar or similar UI...

Whats the point on restrict NAS drives? Typically small M3 or M4 machines are very limited in disk. Mine for example is just 256 GB in SSD. External disks are a good solution for extending its use possibilities, but even more I would like to use my wired NAS for this purpose.
