Hello guys,
I got a quick question, because I was not able to figure it out by myself.
So I have a pool on SSD only for datastores. Within this I have a ZVOL called Poseidon-SSD, with a compression ratio of 2.09x and a size of around 55GB. On the ESXi side, where I connect via iSCSI to FreeNAS/ZVOL.
Now ESXi reports me the size of the ZVOL of available 500GB (thats correct) and the used size of 410GB. This is incorrect in two ways.
1. On the ZVOL only 55GB is occupied. How do I menage to push this also to ESXi?
2. Even with compression of 2.x Its might be about 120GB and not 410GB in size. How could this happen?
Has anyone some ideas or experience in this?
I don't wont to overprovision the SSDs as it is a really bad idea....
