I have one node proxmox server (v8.4.1) installed on minipc. It has two drives - one 256GB NVMe on which proxmox is installed with ZFS and second 512GB SSD used for backups (again ZFS). When I open datacenter summary I can see following stats:
331.64 GiB of 926.33 GiB

How it is possible that I have 926GB of storage when my disks are ~750GB in total? Does it display the summary including some deduplication or compression?
 
Have you connected any network shares? NFS/SMB shares or external PBS datastores are mercilessly added to this value.
 
Yes, you're absolutely right. I have a PBS data storage linked, but it is stored on the 512GB disk. It's kinda confusing that storage summary duplicates the disk space. I would prefer to see the actual disk usage on the host/cluster so I could react when my disks space is getting low. Currently even if fill in all free space it will not be displayed on the dashboard correctly.
 
Nice, newer checked this setting. Now I can filter our some of the redundant storages to get more realistic view on my free disk space. Thanks for the tip!
