I am planning to move a zvol into another dataset. I'm assuming I'll need to create the new zvol in its new location and transfer the data finally deleting the existing zvol. I'd like to take this opportunity to reduce its size. My question is which zvol property should I look at for determining how much space is currently being used and fit into my new zvol. Here are the existing zvol properties, is the safest to use
With the calculation showing 108.9 used space, if I create a 125GB zvol, the data will fit and leave ~16GB free space? Let me add this zvol is used solely for backup and the backup software says the backup is was 86.4GB.
used - available = disk space used
to determine used space or use logicalused
?Code:
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE Backup/iscsi/sp-steph used 152G - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph available 43.1G - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph referenced 113G - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph quota - - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph usedbysnapshots 0 - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph usedbydataset 113G - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph written 113G - Backup/iscsi/sp-steph logicalused 84.6G -
