Orphaned fleece drives filled up my drive - now it's too full to boot.

[sammeeeeeee]

Hiya!

I had to force stop one of my backups, which I believe resulted in orphaned fleece drives. This is what it looked like:


I couldn't delete them (it told me to delete from the hardware tab underneath each VM, but they weren't there), so I thought, as with all things, a restart might help.

Unfortunately, after the reboot, I could not get into the webGUI, and the VM's didn't start.

Here is the output of `zfs list`:
```

Am I safe to `sudo rm -r rpool/data/vm-105-fleece-0` to all the fleece disks? Is there something else I should do to get rid of the drives?

I disabled the backup before I restarted, so I do not believe it will recreate on resart.

Thanks a mil,
Sam

Hi,

I think it should be save to remove the fleece files.
But there is no need for using sudo, as you are using a shell where you are already root.
And you are using zfs for storing the vm disks. This means, the vm disks are ZVOLs. So you cannot remove them with rm.
You need to use zfs destroy rpool/data/vm-105-fleece-0 to remove them.
I had a cancelled migration where I ended up with two disks which where not used and the only way to remove them, was to use zfs destroy.
