PureLoneWolf Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Hi all I am having an irritating issue that I can't seem to resolve. The worst thing is that I swear I read a solution to this once before on here...but my search-fu is clearly failing me. Basically, I have multiple SMB Shares connected in Windows and one of them is showing a different free space to all of the others. I have noticed it happen from time to time when something is on the Cache but not moved yet...Normally the mover fixes it. I have manually run the mover, multiple times, and re-calculated on Unraid - I even disconnected and reconnected the network drive. Nothing seems to work. In anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful. It's not exactly a problem...but it is irritating Thanks Edited July 13, 2021 by PureLoneWolf Marking as solved Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 That's normal when your Downloads share has a folder on the cache drive. 1 Quote Link to comment
PureLoneWolf Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Oh right, thank you I just checked, and the Downloads folder only contains a 3kb file. Is it reserving space somehow? Just trying to understand Thanks again Quote Link to comment

Just trying to understand Thanks again If the a folder exists for any share on the cache drive (even if it is empty) then the free space of the cache drive will be included in the free space value for the share shown in Windows. 1 Quote Link to comment
