      Is this XS 6.5 or XS 7?

          Have you tried rescanning the SR to see if it will reclaim some of the used space?

            I have, the scan completes without issue.

            The snap is still there.

              @DustinB3403 I wouldn't expect it to magically disappear. 😉 However, the scan could result in some diskspace being freed up.

                Have you looked at /var/log/SMlog on your XS to try to identify the underlying issue?

                  When did you clone this? December 9 @ 1244?

                    @momurda Yea.

                    Which should take an exact copy of it, put it on my remote and then dump the snap once its done.

                      Did you do a fast copy or a full clone? If you did a fast copy that is the problem and you will have to do things.
                      Like export the clone then import it again to erase the snapshot chains is probably the easiest and least risky.

                        I used the copy function within XO to replicate it to my second host.

                          So delete and reimport the VM.

                          really. wtf...
