local container storage increases rapidly

[Mohamed faiyaz]

hi,
my local node storage /dev/mapper/pve-data keeps on increasing daily with 0.2 percent and utilizing the disk space resulting in loss of storage.
when i search the utilization using df -kh i can see the utilization of 2 GB per day,

the utilization varies daily from 43.7 % to 44.9 percent in one week. the local storage is mounted on /var/lib/vz.


please suggest us how we can standardize the storage as i have allocated full storage to lv.

i have another node whose local storage is constant.

I assume you use a directory storage (.raw files maouted as ext4). I so, it may help if you run fstrim inside the container (once a day).

hi Dietmar,

thanks for the response. yes we are using the type directory and the path is /var/lib/vz. can i run this fstrim online. is it okay

this particular node has one virtual machine which is running database server whose files were growing rapidly on a daily basis.
