...seem to be). i have a Debian VM running my docker build, i initially set this up with a 128Gb scsi0 disk (why 128Gb i do not know) i want to shrink this to 32gb. i currently have the qcow2 on my BTRFS pool storage which is a spinning platter RAID Array of HDDs, id like it on my `local-btrfs`...

...free to size accordingly, I do not have insight into your workload/needs. It sounds like you are aware of how this changes things. You can't shrink xfs, only grow it, so things get a little more complicated. Your options start leaning towards either: A) Back up all data Destroy the...

...to wait some time beforehand. I think I'm going to as well, practice with some VDEVs in a test pool, attempt to break things, merge things, expand, shrink, etc, and literally just get my feet wet on the whole thing. Thank you all again for your help and feedback! It is greatly appreciated!!! <3

...if I want to implement extra VMs in the future for processing, I would have to divide this entire RAID pool even further which will shrink storage further on each VM which is not something that can be afforded. Another idea is to do a 1:1 passthrough of the RAID controller to one single VM...

...checked whether Windows had trim enabled using the fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify command, but it did not help - the disk did not shrink. I cannot select the SSD Emulation option - does this have any impact on the situation? Do I have to manually shrink the disk file to make it...

So basically if this virtual machine uses windows server 2019 after doing "Windows Guest Configuration" should it be ok or should I still do "Shrink the Disk File" from the instructions from this link? Or is it enough to simply select "discard" in disk options? Sorry for such questions, but I...

...it in your hand. I hope you're not running without any redundancy. A pool consists of at least one vdev and one disk. Your pool can grow or shrink with adding or removing vdevs. What a vdev consists of is totally in your hand. You can stripe all kind of disks together, at least technically...

OK, it does seem that trim is working in as far as: I create a large file in the guest, I see the lvm-thin volume on the host grow and then shrink back when I delete the file in the guest. However, I don't seem to be able to reclaim the jump in storage needs following the opnsense guest upgrade...

...to boot the VM from a GParted Live ISO which gives you a graphical interface to grow the extended partition, move the swap partition and shrink the extended partition in order to grow the primary and ext4 filesystem in one go. Either way, make sure to have a tested and working backup (or...

...I was trying to remove LVM-Thin and create a new ZFS volume for VMs. I moved all the VMs to nvme1n1. In the process of trying to reclaim the storage on nvme0n1, I inadvertently expanded the LVM volume to use the entire 2TB. Is there a way I can shrink nvme0n1p3 so I can create a ZFS partition?

This post covers what you are talking about: How to shrink disks Hopefully it helps!

No, you can reclaim space also on harddisks. That's good. Have you virtio-SCSI aswell? What does the command output? the -v is explcitly there to show you what is trimmed. Ubuntu you say ... what filesystem are you running in ubuntu? If this is also ZFS, you may run zpool trim <pool> in your...

I have fstrim enabled to run on the default Ubuntu schedule, and I have tried running manually like that, but am not seeing any change in the raw disk file size in the pool. Should it be possible to shrink that disk file by doing this?

...3.4G 4.1k 3.4G 1% /run/user/1000 fstrim is enabled, and in my VM settings I have Discard checked. My pool is ZFS and the disk is RAW format. Should I be able to shrink the disk file within the pool, or will it always stay at that size, just with free space within it? Thanks for any help

Hi, MacOS is not officially supported by Proxmox and has no guest side support for ballooning, which would be required to shrink the memory usage on demand. In our system requirements, we recommend that around 2GB of memory is left to the hypervisor, the rest can be allocated to the guests [0]...

Then it was created a sparse file, in a sparse file instead of a million zeros being written Linux will write "here come a million 0" You see the difference with ls -l file and du file. ls will show you the nominal size, du the real size on disk. But the raw file will not shrink

Hi spirit, your qcow2 over LVM implementation looks promising - esp. the qmeventd daemon way sounds like a smooth solution - I think this is the missing piece for an all-in-one >host based< shared block storage / SAN solution with similiar features like ESXi/VMFS - I hope this will then be also...

...me, but I did find a solution that did work. https://github.com/inga-lovinde/RadeonResetBugFix The only negative to this solution is that it seems to make desktop icons shrink upon restarting the vm. A simple icon cache reset fixes it though. Reset and shutdown both work fine with this...

Hi, I have Proxmox VE installed on ZFS and, since it allocates 50% to each by default, I need to shrink 'local' storage to 32GB and expand 'local-zfs' with the rest of the space that was freed from that process. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advanced! ;)
