October 29, 20169 yr Wondering if i can get a quick answer or point in the right direction to why my Unraid server is showing (145GB) used on my cache disk but my VM image file is (215GB) should i be watching the main devices page for space? how does the image file allocate space within the VM image. the image file is RAW.
October 29, 20169 yr Author Id also like to add that the disk size within the vm (Windows Server 2012) (which is what i allocated) is only 200GB but the image file is 215 what causes this?
October 29, 20169 yr It's a sparse file. As far as 200 vs 215, that's probably the difference between GB and GiB.
October 29, 20169 yr The VM image only uses the size required. I have some VM's all sized at 40gig and they are reported as 40gig but the size on disk are 27gig, 17gig or 33gig.
