OpenVZ CT and disk usage

[agh]

Hello to all,

1) Thanks to Proxmox, it's a great soft
2) I've a problem with disk usage in my OpenVZ containers :

Via the Web GUI, I create a CT, with, let's say, 4 GB of disk.
Once the CT has booted, if i do a "df" here is the output :

root@ct1:/# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /
tmpfs 256M 0 256M 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 256M 0 256M 0% /dev/shm

Mmm... Not good ! 4.0G is ok for the size, but 0 for "used" is not cool.

I need to monitor disk usage via Zabbix, so... I need a solution.
Do you have any idea ?

Thanks.

PS : Proxmox 2.3, last ISO + last upgrades.
No special configuration.

What kind of storage do you use for containers (local storage with ext3)?

Hello,

I use local storage : XFS over soft RAID5.

Hello,

Regards,

yes, there are reasons why we recommend ext3 and hardware raid.
