OBS was much more complicated than I thought and thanks to some third party tools it will look and sound better than ever

quick question, I'm trying to create a VM with 2 disks. the second disk is a big one, 2.4TB. zpoll tells me I have enough storage, around 6.7TB free, but whenever I try to create the VM it tells me there's not enough space. I had to reduce the 2nd disk to about 650GB to be able to create the VM. what kind of magic is going on here, does anybody

know?

What brand zone are you creating?

And what's your zpool layout?

12x4TB & 2x512GB SSDs in RAIDZ3

Looks like you've got about a 50% parity cost overhead.

so should I increase the block size of the pool itself? but even so, shouldn't I have enough space for the disks?

Well I don't know what else you have on the pool.

But that's all at the zfs level.

So `zfs get ...` is your friend there.

Use that to figure out what's being consumed. It isn't always as straightforward as you may think. And things get a bit more complicated with 4k drives like you have.

will do, thank you
