How is this possible?

Hello friends,

In kvm only 35GB of 150 is used but in web interface both disk size and backup size is nearly full. How can I correct that.

Thanks a lot. Maybe I should use this tool twice a year.

Well I spoke early. I did that but still 149 of 150GB full. Do I need to restart ?

The web interface simply use the 'du' command to determine the size. So this will always display 150GB once the file is written. But backup size will be smaller.

But on next vm, after sdelete;
This;

Volume ID	VMID	Size (GB)	Used (GB)
local:100/vm-100-disk-1.raw	100	150.00	11.00

Became:

Volume ID	VMID	Size (GB)	Used (GB)
local:100/vm-100-disk-1.raw	100	150.00	149.00

So this is normal again I think. As it once wrote file size.?

Yes. Future versions will use new qemu guest agent to get the size directly from the guest (which is more accurate).

Thanks for your respond. But is there a way to update web interface to make it show real size of vms. Because it is like scary that all vm are just %100 full (After taking new backup it did not get updated.)
