Datastore size

[itobin]

Hi,

i just created a new backup server, created a new ZFS pool which is over 5TB in size. When i create a datastore its only using 194GB. Is there a way i can make the datastore larger?

thanks

Ian

Whats your output of zfs list -o space and zpool list? If there is no quota set ZFS should be thin provisioned allowing your dataset to grow to the full 5TB.

Did you maybe create the datastore on your root filesystem (so system disk) and not on the ZFS pool?
Because according to ZFS only 384K are used and 5.31T are available.

Whats your output of cat /etc/proxmox-backup/datastore.cfg and zfs get mounted,mountpoint backupdata?
