"skinny" zvol not able to be created on fangtooth

Is this the new normal? I liked creating sparse zvols…but the past tow i have created are not sparse.

zfs inherit -S refreservation pool/path/to/zvol

Voila! Sparse.

Are you talking about CLI like pmh showed or GUI?

i only use the gui most times…i created a 1.5tb zvol inside of the gui and it setup a 1.5 tb zvol that’s isn’t sparse. in the gui i have no apparent ability to setup a sparse zvol at all.

:slight_smile: hanks…that got it turned into a sparse zvol…now to get it fixed in the gui…:slight_smile:

Did you check the box Sparse when creating them and it didn’t work? From 25.04.1
