I moved some files from Disk6 to Disk11 using Windows Explorer.  \\tower\disk6\Movies -> \\tower\disk11\Movies.   The files were successfully moved and are no longer present on Disk6, however, the unRAID GUI still shows the same amount of free space on disk6.  Disk11 however, shows less free space which makes sense. 

 

Am I going crazy here or is this a bug?  I actually went through this twice so I could get screenshots since it didn't change the free space numbers the first time either.

 

Pre-move screenshot showing disk6 and disk11 free space.

 

Screenshot of Windows Explorer window showing move in progress between disk6 and disk11.  I moved Quantum of Solace and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.

 

 

GUI Screenshot showing space after move.  Disk6 is still at 36.4GB while disk11 shows 2.41TB as opposed to the pre-move number of 2.46TB.

 

 

Windows Explorer screenshot showing that Quantum of Solace and Harry Potter are no longer on disk6.

 

 

I'm either crazy, or there is something wrong.

Stop/start the array, if nothing changes run a filesystem check on disk6.

It turns out that it was the Recycle Bin plugin I have installed.  I guess I thought Move, meant Move.  But apparently it means Copy, Paste and then Delete.  So even though the move of the file was completed the data remained in the recycle bin.

If you moved from Windows, yes it does that.

 

For small moves, it is generally not an issue. But when I have to large file operation, I prefer to do this from Unraid (Krusader or Midnight Commander).

The speed tends to be better and it prevents this kind of problems.
