I have a question about some stuff that are taking space on zfs pool (2x120gb raid 0) where I store my Virtual Machines. I done a little clean up and when I checked content I saw that there was 3 raw vm-100-disks: 10GB+ 20GB+ 50MB ( so total less than 31GB) but when I checked on the graph it showed that 51GB were used. I ussed command to check it " zfs list -t filesystem -o space,mounted" and it shows: 51.3GB USED, 0B USED SNAP, 20.3GB USEDDS, 0B USEDREFRESERV, 31.0GB USEDCHILD, MOUNTED no.
What and how can I (and can I) remove this 20,3GB to get some more free space? I sit some kind of backup of Virtual machine or something that got lost on the disk?

can you post the whole zfs list (zfs list -t all) output?
does anything exist in the dataset directly?
 
With added 2 new virtual machines for test today( so it is around 72,1GB, but on the graph it shows 92,56GB used)

is VIRTUALCENTER mounted?
please post the output of
Code:
zfs get all VIRTUALCENTER

alternatively, maybe there was a file that got removed but a process still accesses it?
try
Code:
lsof -n 2>/dev/null | grep VIRTUALCENTER
 
root@PROXMOX:~# zfs get all VIRTUALCENTER

VIRTUALCENTER mounted no -
it is not mounted, so the 'ls' from above is not showing the content of the zpool

try mounting it and then check whats inside
 
Thanks for help. Can I mount it to folder or some other way? I am using this whole pool right now with virtual machines/ will this cause any problem?

no mounting should not make any problems, check 'man zfs' for details about mounting a dataset
 
I got:

root@PROXMOX:~# zfs mount VIRTUALCENTER
cannot mount '/VIRTUALCENTER': directory is not empty
 
yes you cannot mount it if the directory is not empty -> remove the directories inside (its ok since they are empty anyway)
 
Thanks. It helped. After removing old empty folders, mount pool and reebot I got new folders with backup and couple iso files that was on old directory that I removed by proxmox menu, but did not removed files.
