VM disk larger than allocated

[okela]

I use LVM-thin on my disk (created a thin pool) and now it shows that the VM disks are larger size than it was allocated (214 and 536 instead of 200 and 500) although actual usage is just 20% of the allocated size. I don't know why and this may lead to "io-error". Please help me out.


actual usage (16% of the first disk and 94% of the second)


thank you in advance !!!

This is normal. 214.75 GB (1000*1000*1000) is equal to 200 GiB (1024*1204*1024): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte#Multiple-byte_units

will 214gb automatically expand more in the future if I don't resize it. Thank you

No because 214GB is equal to your chosen 200GiB.
