Hey guys,
i configured two zvol... one zvol is going to be boot device for esxi host, second zvol will be used as datastore for vms...
When looking at this picture, I'm wondering, why after creation of the highlighted zvol, a usage of 44% is displayed:
The manual says, one should not use more than 80% of the space. The san-volume consists of two mirrored 8 TB HDDs. 10 GBytes are assigned to boot zvol, whereas the remaining 80% percent of 7.0 TiB are assigned to data zvol (5.6 TiB). However, there is no data on this zvol. So why is a usage percentage of 44% displayed?
The drives are using native 4k sectors. The block size of both zvols is 16K (by default).
