I created a 100GB zvol on my FreeNAS box to serve as the disk device for a Win 7 VM. I used a block size of 512 for Windows compatibility.
The zvol is now reporting as using 1.4TB on the storage screen in the UI, and it is continuing to trend upward.
There are no snapshots being taken of the zvol.
I expected the 512 block size to result in some inefficiencies, but around 50% excess, not 400%. I also expected that to be constant over time, not growing.
Currently at FreeNAS 11.0-U2 , though 11.0 RC 4 at the time the zvol was created.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nate
