Hi !
I have VM (under oVirt) with single disk thin provision (~600 GB) running NextCloud on
Debian 9.
Right now VM HD is almost empty. Unfortunately, it occupies 584 GB (virtual size = 600
GB)
All partition (except swap and boot) are EXT4 with discard option. in oVirt “enable
discard = on”.
# fstrim -av runs successfully:
/var: 477.6 GiB (512851144704 bytes) trimmed on /dev/mapper/vg--system-lv4--data
/boot: 853.8 MiB (895229952 bytes) trimmed on /dev/mapper/vg--system-lv2--boot
/: 88.4 GiB (94888611840 bytes) trimmed on /dev/mapper/vg--system-lv3—sys
When fstrim runs again, it trims zero. I even run “Sparsify” in oVirt. Unfortunately,
actual size is still 584 GB.
Here is /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/vg--system-lv3--sys / ext4
discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/mapper/vg--system-lv2--boot /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/vg--system-lv4--data /var ext4 discard,noatime,nodiratime 0
2
/dev/mapper/vg--system-lv1--swap none swap sw 0 0
When disk was partitioned/formatted, swap and boot were created first and positioned at
the beginning.
What is wrong here? Is it possible to fix all this ?
Thanks in advance.
Andrei
