datacenter directory only has 100GB?

I've got a box with a few spare spinning disks in it, so I thought I'd set up ZFS pools, then build directories on them for purposes of VM backups from different nodes. The backups from some containers and small disk VMs will go fine, but it always seems to run out of disk space. If I'm looking at the directories in the gui, they show the usage as 17.36GB/100.86GB. If I get the properties on the two directories, I do see that the preallocation box just says default.

I tried using copilot before coming here, and it thinks there is no problem lol. Here's the output of the things it asked me for:

Code:
root@Defiant:~# zfs get quota,refquota,reservation,refreservation WDRed

WDRed  quota           none       default

WDRed  reservation     none       default
WDRed  refreservation  none       default
root@Defiant:~# zfs get quota,refquota,reservation,refreservation WDRedB
NAME    PROPERTY        VALUE      SOURCE
WDRedB  quota           none       default
WDRedB  refquota        none       default
WDRedB  reservation     none       default
WDRedB  refreservation  none       default

Is there a way to expand these to use up the available space, or do I need to delete them and maybe there will be a different option for the preallocation?
 
it always seems to run out of disk space.
Hi, @ph4zed
This message may be about other filesystem. During a backup, the data may be temporarily stored elsewhere and then moved to the final directory. AFAIR, it particularly is the case for some backup mode.
What backup mode do you use?
