Hello there, i want to come back to this topic since there has nothing changed on this issue. Unraid still says that the disk ist only filled about 15%, while there are in fact 2.5tb of data on a 3tb drive. Is it save that i won't lose any data? I mean, what will happen if the drive is physically full, but Unraid thinks it's just filled about 20%? Isn't it possible that some data will be overwritten?

This checks if there are the same files on the unassigned device as in the specified location? Even if these are organised in other directories as on the unassigned device? EDIT: I think this won't work because i can't mount it. To be honest i don't really know why. Originally it was in an external Harddrive enclosure and i plugged it in via USB. After the data transfer i got rid of the enclosure an connected it via SATA. But since then, the only option I see under unassigned devices is to format it.

Thanks for the quick reply. To me it looks also like some kind of bug. Its mainly every kind of personal data. Photos, Videos University stuff and so on... I didn't heard about symlinks before but i quickly googled it and... i have some old Backups of an iPhoto Library wich maybe can have some symlinks in it?! But summing up: i don't need to worry about losing any data i think?! Asking because the additional 3TB device listed under unassigneed devices is the disk wich holds the old data wich i copied to the array. Then i will format it and add it to the array.

Hello there i'm new but very happy to be here. I'm the first days into Unraid and with a lot of reading and watching tutorial i've managed to build my very first own server without any (major) issues. And so far i need to say that the journey was fun so far. I'm looking forward to upcoming projects and what my server can do for me! But: beside all the positive experiences i have one little problem wich isn't a showstopper but is a bit annoying and makes me feel a little nervous about the safety of my data. So far i've installed a 4TB Parity drive and a 4TB Disk in the Array. The first thing i've done was transferring something around 3TB of data from an old external USB Drive to the Array. After my calculation there should be something around 3TB of used space in my array und around 1TB of free Space in the array. But whan i look at the dashboard it says that there are only 5% of used Space on Disk 1 and when i switch to the Main tab it says that there are only 210GB of my Disk 1 is used (which should be exactly the 5% wich is shown to me on the dashboard) When i go to the Drive on my Desktop i can found some Files wich are over 250GB on its own. Does anyone have an idea what the could cause this issue? Here i'll give you some Screenshots and my diagnostics. I've done my best to provide every relevant info. I hope this was enough Thanks in advance, Manuel hechtserver-diagnostics-20221207-1501.zip
