So I have this KVM machine using qcow2 as image disk. I set 2TB as size but when I type du -h to get the real size of the disk image it shows 626GB on the host.
When I type df -h into the VM machine I get this:
[root@srv1 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 7.6G 0 7.6G 0% /dev
tmpfs 7.6G 0 7.6G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.6G 305M 7.3G 4% /run
tmpfs 7.6G 0 7.6G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/centos-root 1.9T 139G 1.8T 8% /
/dev/vda2 1014M 194M 821M 20% /boot
/dev/mapper/centos-home 100G 33M 100G 1% /home
tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/user/998
tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/user/0
[root@srv1 ~]#
My question is: where do I find the ~486GB difference?
Is there any way that I can clean this difference and get my VM qcow2 disk image to be ~140GB - size which is actually occupies? If so, how?
