I was told to use DISK_QUOTA="no" for workarounds on my CentOS containers running Zoneminder. This was a temporary fix to the real problems I was having, but that part was left out. I have been running like this for a month until all of my VM's shutdown from having a full disk. I noticed the container NFS share is what was full, however, I couldn't "see" the files that were taking up the space. The files are in limbo somewhere, and they are not in the container. The container is back on DISK_QUOTA="yes", but I have 4TB unaccounted for, that I can't seem to find.

Just so others know. Don't use DISK_QUOTA="no". Find a different solution.
