    [SOLVED] VM thinks it has significantly more free space than local-lvm has free

    Hey all, still somewhat new to this. Did attempt to google before posting. My media VM (debian) shows 268GB out of 825.2GB available, but the local-lvm it's using only shows 65.39 GiB availble. Discard is enabled and I just ran an fstrim -va. I think I may have somehow overallocated storage...
