Ok, so I managed to delete the vzctl snapshot without destroying anything, now for the ploop snapshot. # pwd /vz/private/2202/root.hdd # ploop snapshot-list DiskDescriptor.xml PARENT_UUIDC UUID FNAME {----} {1ef87f8e-e5b7-4627-8424-d2

Thanks Kir, yes just after posting my question I realized I misunderstood the output from snapshot-list and also the snapshot without a UUID was actually a snapshot to be deleted. Thanks also for the explanation of the difference between ploop and vzctl snapshots, that will come in handy! One thi

Indeed, that seems to have been at least part of the problem, thanks much. Still, after having removed all snapshots and rerun vzctl compress, I still ended up with a pigz compressed backup of 40G for a container with 2G used disk space (shown by df -h within the container). Any idea how that can

We have a container that needs moving to another hardware node, but a vzpbackup of it is 250G. Within the container only 1.9G is used: /dev/ploop33244p1 393G 1.9G 371G 1% / Tried running a vzctl compact but it just shows a few lines and stops without having done anything: # vzctl compact 1
