One drive full, VM's won't start

[HDDMod]

Hi All,

 

I created a VM on an my server, and have 5 drives, 1 parity. Setting up my VM, I may not have properly checked to see where the data should be saving, and my drive effectively got completely full. At this point, I can't do anything with those VM's nor do I have access to take or delete data off of that drive. 

 

What should I do?

 

Any assistance would be appreciated

You need to manually move some data (or a vdisk) from disk1 to another disk, vdisks are also much better on a cache device/pool, or performance will suffer a lot due to parity, also make sure to update to latest stable.

Check also that your vms supports trim, if they don't you will see in your vms that the free space synchronizes (for the vdisk) but it doesn't in your real disk and it will fill.

Hi Jorge,

 

Gotcha. My vdisk.img for that VM that's on that disk is currently showing as over 15 TB on the disk.... my other VM's are showing normally, is there a reason why this one is looking strange like that? 

 

Also, how would I register the VM with the new disk location once it's moved? 

 

Thanks for the help

You can't have a vdisk larger than the disk it resides in, each disk is a separate filesystem with Unraid, and no file can span more than one disk, you need to resize or re-create that one.
