Just installed proxmox yesterday and have been busy migrating my old vmware hosts to the new proxmox server. The first 5 vms migrated without problems but when i try a larger (100GB) ovf vm i get an error "out of space"

Bash:
root@pve:/mnt/pve/network-datastore/web7# qm importovf 105 web7_1.ovf local-proxmox
import failed - zfs error: cannot create 'local-proxmox/vm-105-disk-0': out of space

root@pve:/mnt/pve/network-datastore/web7# pvesm status

but my small local zfs is only at 43% usage. So what im i missing? :)
 
If i run
Bash:
qemu-img convert -f vmdk /mnt/usb/windows-server/windows-server.vmdk -O qcow2 /var/lib/vz/images/100/windows-server.qcow2
wouldnt that put the image file on the local ssd? i dont have enough space on that drive so it needs to go on the zfs "local-proxmox"
 
I ended up recreating the VM in proxmox since it was just a proxy server for the lan. I will try the qemu-img convert command later this week to see if that resolved the problem.
