Hello, i`m using Proxmox, Virtual Environment 7.0-11 and i`ve set up a ZFS pool with 3 HDDs, each of them being 2 TB.
When i click the actual ZFS pool in proxmox, it says 3.87 TB. Fair enough, i installed samba and set up a shared folder. Then i go to my Windows machine and map the network drive, but in Windows it says 3.51 TB. Now for my question: Where are 360 GBs? Does Proxmox retain that for snapshots and VM disks ?
 
1 TB = 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 bytes.
1 TiB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 bytes.

3.87 TB and 3.51 TiB are the same. Windows always wrongly writes "TB" but means "TiB".
