Disk space on proxmox Server

[konabi]

Hi,

I have installed a Promox Server and usong one vm on the Server.
The vm disk file is 5GB.


When I do a ls -h it shows me the file is 5G
When I do a du -h ist shows me the directory where the file is located is 1,7 GB
When I do a df -h ist show me that the partition /var/lib/vz uses 738 GB.

But only one file with size 5GB is located on that partion.
Where is all my free space on that partition?

root@proxmox-02:/var/lib/vz/images/104# ls -lh
total 1.7G
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.1G Jan 24 08:49 vm-104-disk-1.qcow2

Thanks for your help.

seems you manually mounted a NFS server to the already used /var/lib/vz directory - which in not a good idea.

for NFS mounts, use another dir.

Hi Tom,


I am working on server proxmox-02 and I have a seccond server proxmox-03.
On both servers I have configured NFS shares.
The NFS share from proxmox-03 is /var/lib/vz and is mounted on peoxmox-02 to /mnt/pve/NFSproxmox03

proxmox-02:/var/lib/vz  1.8T  139G  1.7T   8% /mnt/pve/NFSproxmox02
proxmox-03:/var/lib/vz  418G  107G  312G  26% /mnt/pve/NFSproxmox03
