space reclamation

Hi, everybody.

Prompt to me how to make space reclamation:

I have the virtual machine with mysql db, ubuntu.

It is on the datastor connected by NFS.

Thin provision is switched on.

VMware shows that it 900Gb though actually now 400Gb. Data were written and erased. How to me to release a difference? How can I do space reclamation?

Yes, NFS, but not Windows. I have Ubuntu 14.

P.S. VAAI switched on.

I'm not sure how to do it via Ubuntu unfortunately.

It doesnt sound like VAAI is enabled as it if was it would have reclaimed that space.
