Re: [osol-discuss] Trying to recover rpool space after multiple updates
I did (finally) manage to figure out where all the space went: various VirtualBox snapshots, variously buried within ZFS snapshots, took up tens of gigs of space. Once those were all merged and cleaned up, my disk is back to happy state, with about 30 GB free on a 60 GB disk.

I'd been keeping up with deleting packages and destroying old boot environments, and removed the old virtual disk files in .Virtualbox from my home directory. But I think there's still something like 10-20 GB of junk spread around, unless I'm completely missing something. If you're logged into GNOME: Applications -> System Tools -> Disk Usage Analyzer Use that to help you find where some of that space is being taken up. Also, remember that with boot environments, if you remove the files in a *newer* boot environment (such as the 134 BE you showed), then you'll also have to remove them in the 133 BE or any earlier ones before you can reclaim the space fully. Given that I have 10 GB of RAM, are there any recommendations on sizing /swap? Is there any reason to keep /swap and /dump on the SSD? I don't know.
