Solution JorgeB Posted June 12 Solution Share Posted June 12 Are you trimming the vdisks? They can grow a lot if you don't: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/51703-vm-faq/?do=findComment&comment=557606 Quote Link to comment

I try with you guide change driver to SCSI and Defrag and Optimize drive. Now i get this: Add to drive free space 80G But vdisk still 260G It fine ? Now i can use it space ? For MacOS VM need to do the same? Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Don't know how to trim with macos, but yes it should also be needed. Quote Link to comment
Exlife Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 (edited) I succeeded trim macos vdisk. I did it according to this guide. I'll add to this, I've also reduced partition size in macos Disk Utility. After i did command qemu-img resize --shrink macos_disk.img 80G Edited June 14 by Exlife 1 Quote Link to comment
