Hi, I have a proxmox with 10 CT backuped daily and after a power failure I decide to start from scratch so I reinstall Proxmox and restore all container. Three of them can't be restored because the restored volume of container is bigger than the previous configured volume.
This is an example: old container rootfs 4GB.
Error:
So I use this comand to restore it:
Now my restored container is 5.63/7 GB when previously it would fit in 4GB.
Is this normal? There is something to enable or that I can do to shrink back CT volumes?
