Hi.
Please help me understand if my situation with root on ZFS is normal
I have double 224 Intel SDDs in the ZFS mirror configuration to store my root of PVE install. I keeps no backups, no ISO files, no VM images on this ZFS pool just PVE install itself. My only VM (Windows Server 2019) is on separate storage (ZFS mirror on 2x2T HDDs). Backups are stored on CIFS storage on the diferent PVE node. In the PVE web UI I see that ~163 GB of 224G are allocated, but the largest files are only 6 Linux Kernel images, Linux firmware and apt cache (checked with 'df' and 'ncdu'). It is hard to believe that it all takes ~163 GB of storage.
Where should I look at to find the reason of such high storage utilization ? Should some ZFS tools be used to free up some space ?
Is ~40+ % of pool fragmentation normal/OK ?
Thanks for your time in advance.

ArtūrasB.
