...BTW, mind that if you want to have /mnt/pve/agents formatted as XFS as currently (not ext4), then if somewhen in the future you want to shrink it, you will not be able to do it, because XFS doesn't support shrinking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Resize_capabilities ).

...6174572148 6.57% snowball dir disabled 0 0 0 N/A I guess in summary, im trying to shrink sda3 by 3Tb and move that 3Tb to sdb1. My current sever is running 6 drives all on hotswappable storage with a RAID setup. But i cant recall, i...

...One could reformat sdb to be another PV (physical volume) for LVM and add it into "pve" VG. But sdb contains data, doesn't it?... Then shrink pve-root and use the regained space for a new LV (logical volume) for VMs and LXCs. And there are even more questions. E.g. do you want to keep...

Hi all, im trying to reduce my local storage and re assign it to my "agents" storage that i use for all of my LXCs & VMs. Im short, i have 6ish TB in my node1 local, and i am looking at 3.6TB Agents storage in directory type. My question is how can i cut local in half, and move the remaining...

I'm confused. Does that mean that the lxc has indeed an amount of round about 22GB? My purpose was to shrink its size.

...any swap use. Forget about backups when systems are in use. For small (up to 1TB) zfs pools with multiple windows vms, enable dedup, it will shrink ARC for deduped blocks too. Use only if dedup ratio exceeds 2.0. Use only with fast_dedup. DO NOT enable dedup for big pools. Set compression to...

I have a lxc container in pve. The webgui shows me an amount of storage of 12.69 GB. The backup in PBS needs more than 20GB. I cannot afford this amount of storage and would like to shrink the storage of the backup. But how?

...realized that this could be problematic since it's recognized as a full disk and that it not seems to recognize free disk space, being able to shrink/fit the image on a smaller 256GB disk. Is there a way to shrink the image or disk of the 528GB disk so I can transfer it to a smaller 256GB...

How to do this part? I'm in a similar situation, aka: a noob. (I have the VM running on local-lvm NVMe, but my data on HDD.) And what if my ZFS pool is 8 TB total and the VM is using 6 TB of it...wanting to shrink to 4 TB. Other VMs are using small partial amount of the 8 TB too.

Well..., ZFS ARC does shrink if required. But it does so slowly. (Edit: ...and if it is allowed to by "zfs_arc_min" being lower than _max) Too slow to be fast enough if one VM (or any other process) requests too much memory at once. RAM is the one resource you cannot over-commit drastically...

...spread out over several vdisks and no LVM to worry about in the future. Rootfs gets resized up, we add a new /var/log partition and shrink /home down. Can resize XFS rootfs down by backing up / restoring to smaller disk with fsarchiver. Long term, you're much better off separating things out...

Thank you for the help! I believe most of this only applies if I've resized the disk inside of the VM (which I haven't), am I understanding that right?

Always have a backup (not just a snapshot) before making changes. I'm starting to see more "how can I shrink" posts and it is a PITA unless it's LXC. Much easier to just restore from before the bad resize. Especially if the instance was installed with lvm in-vm, then you're pretty much reduced...

...of the VM yet Would it be best for me to: - Resize the VM's drive in Proxmox down to the 128GB I intended (I don't think this would require shrinking the file system since I haven't done anything in the VM yet and this would still be much larger than the VM's current drive) or - Just leave...

...a snapshot/backup from before. I often forget to mention doing that before messing around with this stuff. If you have none then you'd have to shrink the file system inside first (which can't be done while mounted) and then the volume. For that I do recommend a live iso. It's not optimal but...

...Autodesk, Unity/Unreal, Postgres/MySQL tooling, Cisco/Aruba/Netscout clients, VPNs, MDM, EDR... the list is… industrial. Apple Silicon didn’t shrink this; it expanded it. In 2021-2023 most major vendors shipped native arm64 builds for macOS. That’s not what companies do for a “low‑ROI science...

You can't easily shrink a live/mounted file system and it's also dangerous as you could shrink the LV too much by accident.

Hi! Unfortunately, Proxmox (and most hypervisors) can’t just shrink a virtual disk directly, because doing that would risk data loss if the filesystem inside isn’t resized first. A safe and relatively simple way to do this is to use Clonezilla to clone your existing disks into smaller ones...

The actual commands depend on the used storage. In general: It is not as easy as just reducing the space. You always need to shrink the filesystem itself in order to still have a working VM. This depends on the used guest OS and you may want to refer to the guest os handbook in order to shrink...
