Hello, Right now I'm moving virtual machines from old 3.x node (storage model: LVM) to new 4.x node. The new node has ZFS RAID10 setup over 4x4TB local disks. My storage for virtual machines has ZFS Thin Provisioning enabled and it actually works for newly created virtual machines - in other words I can give 100GB disk to machine, and only actually used space will be taken from available ZFS pool.
This, however, does not work for restored from backups virtual machines. I'm doing simple backup-restore procedure (backup on 3.x node and restore on 4.x node to ZFS), and what I see is that if there's 100GB disk in backup then it takes 100GB on restore (even thought actually there's only 5GB used). Does that mean I won't be able to take advantage of ZFS Thin Provisioning when restoring vms from backups? regards, _______________________________________________ pve-user mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-user
