My PVE rpool has ghost data that I cannot remove.
I misconfigured VirtIOFS storage and somehow got rpool to contain my /mnt/vmdata rather than it being located on the intended storage pool, a 12TB RAIDZ pool (16TB raw). The storage was shared to my Ubuntu Server VM. Upon writing data (Immich, Nextcloud), my rpool filled up to over 100% and my VM stopped booting.
I've gone through troubleshooting, and I think I have properly set the storage location the the correct pool. But, I cannot delete the data that is accidentally in the rpool. I've deleted the data off the rpool, but it still shows as mostly full. And, when I start writing data to the VirtIOFS is still starts filling up again.
This is my first hypervisor & self-hosting project that I am slowly working on, so I am quite newb-ish in PVE / Ubuntu / Linux - I've been using round-robin help from AI, but they are not helping me solve my error. What files do I need to check to ensure my "/mnt/Data" is located on the right pool? How do I get the data off the rpool?
Here is what my VM sees:
ben@cloud357:/mnt$ tree -d
.
└── cloud357-data
├── immich-photos
├── personal-files [error opening dir]
└── template
└── cache
6 directories
Here is what the host has:
root@pve1:/mnt# tree -d
