hello

i have. http://local:108/vm-108-disk-1.qcow2

qcow2. size is. 1tb hard drive but used only 200 gb but even disk file qcow2 is 1tb size

is there any way i can decrease as my data is only 200 gb

how i can shrink and keep as what data size only can be disk size also possible or how ?
 
how do you determine the size? notice that ls shows the 'virtual' size, not the one actual used. for this you can use 'du'
like this:
Code:
du -sh /var/lib/vz/108/vm-108-disk-1.qcow2
 
yes i did like this but seeing full size instead of actual size ther eshould be 200 gb only as total 1tb but used only 200 gb
