I have 1TB space for my VMs
Till yesterday they took about 600GB space on that ZFS Storage
Today I would make some updates and tried to make a snapshot before and got a not enough diskspace error
as I looked at the Storage nearly all space more than 900GB were used.
The only thing happend was the backup running each night since months to PBS Server
So I added all the GB my VMs use, and yes thats more than 900G.
So why did they use only about little mor than 600GB till now. The VMs are not all full, but the free space would be 300GB in total
does PROXMOX deduplicate on the VM storage too? I did some changes on a 600GB VM yesterday
