• [6.9.2] - User share drive calculations includes pools not participating in user shares

    So I noticed that a user share drive listing (used for computing share size) includes pools that are set to not participate in user shares, when they happen to have the same top level folder name as those other shares.

    This leads to incorrect size calculations.

     

    Note that the folder itself however does not appear in the SMB user share (as expected), and so this is more of a cosmetic issue that also impacts utilization calculations, rather than a functional problem with user share file/folder inclusions.

     

    User share list:

    Any disk with a top level folder for a share IS participating in that share, regardless of the settings configured for that share. How that top level folder is created doesn't matter, if it exists it will add to the share calculation.

     

    Inclusion and exclusion, pool setting, etc only apply to new files written to the share.

     

    The only exception is if the disk is globally excluded from user shares.

     

    User shares are simply the combined view of root folders on all disks and pools.

    It's a disk share (pool share technically lol) as it has been globally excluded from user shares.

    The disk share happens to have a folder on it of the same name as a user share.

    The files in the folder "chia" on the Scratch pool do not appear in the user share "chia" (expected behavior), however it is included for "chia" user share size calculations (unexpected behavior).
