Hi, my distraction I have exceeded the limit of backups on a ZFS volume, sending the disk to saturation! I have performed the prune and garbage collection, but I see that after 24 hours it is almost finished. What do you recommend to do in these cases?

garbage collect will only delete data 24 hours after the chunks were touched last, so you might want to prune then wait 24h + 5min and then do a garbage collect...

Hi dcsapak and thanks for replying. I waited for more than 24 hours for my mistake (I also made the mistake of deleting a VM from the shell) and having saturated the disk, in the end everything was back to normal. I was wondering if in addition to launching the garbage from the GUI I would have a way to clear the entire disk and storage database. I write this because being a second backup copy, I had the backup copy on another disk. Thank you
