Hello, When I delete files or free up space within a virtual machine (VM), it doesn't directly translate to an equivalent decrease in the overall disk usage of the Proxmox node . it seems that it does not affect on proxmox node. what can i do?

A friend starting into using Proxmox asked me a question today which I didn't offhand know the answer to and couldn't find a definitive answer on here. How do you know the LXC templates are trustworthy? LXC containers (as in the templates pulled down from pveam), I'm guessing they're pulled...

So I just backed up my Proxmox VM's and got rid of proxmox since I want to use this machine for QEmu instead. The problem is QEmu don't support VMA so how can I convert VMA to QEmu without Promox?

I'm currently looking for a way to mount a snapshot (local ZFS storage) of a VM disk read only in another VM. My best find so far is this article about moving virtual disks: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Moving_disk_image_from_one_KVM_machine_to_another . But this involves a lot of renaming...

So I use gzip to as the backup format for all my containers when saving them into tar files, but I also noticed a "vzdump-lxc*-.tmp" directory found in /var/lib/vz/dump and stood out amongst all the ".tar.gz" files so I am wondering what this is, and why is it a directory unlike the tar files...
