Hi Guys,
So yesterday I moved all my VMs from a rubbish SAN over to FreeNAS, however, I've noticed that ESXi is showing that I've used 5TB of data where FreeNAS is showing 500GB data used.
I know that compression is enabled on the Zpool however, I didn't expect it to be as good as 10x compression rate. De-dup is not enabled on the pool as far as I'm aware.
I don't know if there's an issue with FreeNAS and data might be lost or if this is expected? I've attached screenshots below.
They...
Is 10x Compression Normal?
