Windows 10 VM with Unassgned Disk - Disk never shrinks

Hey guys.

So I have a windows 10 VM,

OS is on cache drive

2nd drive is an unassigned disk,

On it I run a program called stablebit clouddrive, it allows you to mount cloud providers and keep X cached.

So normally I would transfer files over, it would upload the files, and keep XGB caches. all is good

However, in my VM my unassigned disk NEVER decreases in size.

For example I copy 200GB over, with clouddrive set to cache 50GB

Net result I upload all data and cache 50GB

However; unassigned shows I have 200GB

What this is doing is tricking the VM into thinking the drive is maxed and crashing my VM

Any resolution to this? The drive is formatted as XFS

Thanks

How do you access the UD disk? Is it a disk image or network mounted share?

Its a disk image

You'll see the difference in the screen shot.

This is newly discovered so there isnt a "huge" difference, there will be a larger one in an hour as more uploads.

I already had to destroy my previous UD before I came to this conclusion.

The VM would last for 30-60 seconds and then just crash.

You posted in the UD thread and got an answer there, but I'm mentioning here.

If you fill up the UD disk, it's because you have specified the image to be bigger than your UD disk.

The image will not shrink when files are deleted as it just grows until you hit the size you specified.
