VM does not reclaim null blocks

 

 

Hello, I have a question regarding vSAN reclaim.

 

 

The environment is a CentOS8 VM running on vSAN RAID Level 5.

 

 

For disk 1, 40GB of space was allocated to install the OS, and 2TB of Disk 2 was configured as a DATA storage.

 

 

Disk 2 consists of a single partition of sdb1, and if you check with "df -h" command, 70GB of space is being used.

 

 

Based on vSAN RAID Level 5, it is calculated as 70G * 1.33, so it is expected to use about 93GB of space, but the disk uses about 262GB of VMDK capacity.

 

 

So I changed the VMDK's policy to RAID Level 1, and then reverted it back to the RAID Level 5 policy.

 

 

After doing this, the capacity of Disk 2 was reduced to 202GB.

 

 

With a question, I cloned the VM and performed the same operation, and the disk capacity of the cloned VM was 129GB.

 

 

Could you tell us an example of a situation similar to this one and a solution?
