My ZFS volume has 965 GGB, summery says 831 GB Use that makes about 134 GB free, Adding the space of the vMs shown under VM disks makes 818 GB, that looks OK.
Now I want to make a snapshot of a 600 GB VM, but it stops after 3,6 GB with disk full. Last week it was still possible to make snapshot and as I remember space and used conditions have been quit the same.

felling using space sind some days, in the beginning I hat 4 other VMs (about 80 GB large )on the some volume and had always (since about 5 months) about 350 GB free) . after a sudden lost of space over night I move the 4 VMs of about 80 GB to an other store.

My VMs are quite stable in using space, none of them uses relay more space over time, most are static (i.e. a reverse proxy server, configuration backup server, mail relay etc. the only really growing server is the 600 GB VM, but not as much as the space is lost.
The calculated Used space ist the brutto capacity of the VMs, but the netto capacity is less. So i-e. the 600 GB VM has about 160 GB free space.

So whats going on since about 3 weeks with my disk space, before everything was ok for months
