Hi
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the issue im having, Currently I have proxmox running ZFS, i realized an issue as the VM storage shows differently from the host itself
on the vm storage shows
So i read a bit that having the 16k blocksize or 32k is acceptable as its a storage
Then reading a bit more i would need to create another vm disk and DD
So im confused on how i can fix the blocksize, not sure if these steps would be correct?
would i first edit the storage.config and add this
but im lost on the DD i didnt know that zfs pools can be DD normally dont they use zfs send or receive? but i guess in this case its within the same pool so not sure what the process here?
Thank you
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the issue im having, Currently I have proxmox running ZFS, i realized an issue as the VM storage shows differently from the host itself
on the vm storage shows
but on the zfs pool of that disks shows this, meaning that using 4.5tb really but its showing 8.57tb double spacedata 6.8T 4.5T 2.4T 66% /data
then i realized the disk using 8k volblocksize, reading a bit seems that the lower the blocksize the better speeds but it seems to double the size of space. (correct me if im wrong)rpool/data/vm-146-disk-1 8.57T 1.59T 8.57T -

then on the webgui create the new disk and should give the block size i needzfspool: local-zfs
pool rpool/data
content rootdir,images
blocksize 32k
sparse 1
