Proxmox VE 6.2-14

I'm trying to take a snapshot of a VM made up of 3 qcow2 disks. The first disk is ubuntu OS and the other 2 disks are user data. They are 230GB combined raw, but actually more like 100GB of data.

In my VM options I have it set to save to storage "spare" which has about 300GB of free space. It is a directory mounted at /mnt/pve/Spare. Instead it is attempting to save to Storage.1 which has no free space.

Is it possible that Storage.1 is nearly 100% full?
To create a snapshot of that vm-700-disk-0 there must be at least a little bit space available for ZFS to work with. I have no idea, how much...

So if it is actually full, I would recommend to move some content (temporary) away...

Best regards

You are correct that Storage.1 is nearly 100% full! I didn't expect it to actually be a problem - but here we are. Looks like I'll have to do some storage fenageling.
