Hello,

I'm using ProxMox version 3.4.2 and I've a small issue with one of my vz container.

The web console tell me that allocated storage is 150 GB, but if connect to this container and run
$ df -h
I get a different value (59 GB)

Am I in trouble ? How can I fix this ?

Thanks for your help.
 
You allocated 150GB, but up to now you only use 59GB - that looks reasonable to me, so what is the problem?
 
And here's below further details which makes me more worried ... (I've dropped some lines)

$ sudo du -sh /*
4.4M bin
4.0K boot
4.0K dev
18M etc
150G home
4.0K initrd
8.4M lib
0 lib64
4.0K media
4.0K mnt
4.0K opt
76K root
4.4M sbin
4.0K srv
0 sys
24K tmp
280M usr
254M var

It means that I'm using more than allocated storage for this container (see /home usage) ... how can that be possible ?

Thanks for your help
