topic Disk Space Issue in VMware Solutions Discussions https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Disk-Space-Issue/m-p/48635#M4687 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>We have multiple volumes and LUN's within those volumes to attach to our ESXI servers. I recently ran dedup on the volumes and had great results. Savings from 31-74%. However I did notice that through ESXI it does not show any more free space. Example: vol/vmware is 300GB and has 212GB available. Before dedup it only had ~100GB available. On ESXI it still only shows 14.25GB free space. Any help would be appreciated.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:30:40 GMT BRADYINDIT 2025-06-05T06:30:40Z Disk Space Issue https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Disk-Space-Issue/m-p/48635#M4687 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>We have multiple volumes and LUN's within those volumes to attach to our ESXI servers.
