Disk space differences?

[oeginc]

As I mentioned in one of my other posts, I am currently migrating from ProxMox v1.1 to v1.5...

During this process, I noticed something strange.. I've only had a chance to move 1 VM so far so I can't say if it is consistent, but the one I did move took up 121GB on ProxMox v1.1 and only 70GB on ProxMox v1.5...

Is there any particular reason this may be? I thought something might have gone wrong with the restore, so I deleted it and redid it but it's there and seems to be complete..

On a similar note, I had a container that says (in proxmox) that it takes up 24GB of disk space (the allocated space is 128GB), yes when I ran the vzdump it reached over 150GB before I stopped it (I couldn't wait any longer, I had to bring the machines back up)...

Any ideas?

how do you migrate? And how do you meassure disk usage?

Maybe your lvm snapshot runs out of space? Try to increase the snapshot size with --size (see 'man vzdump').
