To make this work you have to activate "discard" option in proxmox per harddisk, set bus to "scsi" and use virtio-scsci as controller. I use XFS only, but ext4 provides discard also. Mandi! Marcus In chel di` si favelave... Yes, that's possible. Use fstrim or mount the volume with "discard"

Yes, that's possible. Use fstrim or mount the volume with "discard" as option. Windows (2012R2) recognizes that the volume supports discard and you can reclaim space with defrag (https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2014/02/17/whats-new-in-defrag-for-windows-server-20122012r2/) Is it pos

I am a bit puzzled as to how to do a simple disk usage query on Proxmox 4 with LVM thin. The normal commands such as df -h etc do not give the correct figures. The drive is on a hardware RAID. To the system it is a single drive. Here are some of the figures I managed to extract, but none are sim
