Virtual HDD size

[DenissManolijs]

Hi,

We are experiencing issue with virtual HDD size. We've got Windows Server VM with 2 virtual disks configured. First is 700 GB and it is located on mounted RAID device. Second is 20 GB and it is located at LOCAL storage and used by Windows as SWAP partition. Yesterday we found that 20 GB disk (size=20G at hardware config) is using 130 GB space on LOCAL storage. See screenshots attached.

Do you use snapshots? That could explain the big usage.

Please advice on this issue.

Well, do you use snapshots ? That makes the disk image bigger as the snapshots have to be stored somewhere.

Hi,

Yes, we are using snapshots.

Thanks for your help.
