Log or command to see what's using storage

[Nanobug]

Hello unRAID forums,

I keep being close to utilizing all of my storage, even when I've transcoded half of my media library to x265 to save space.

So far, I should've saved around 2 TB, but I keep being close to max still.

It's like something is not adding up.

 

Is there a way, to see what shares or wherever the files are going, through a command or somewhere in the logs?

I've tried looking around, but I can't seem to find anything.

Any ideas?

Did you tried to "Compute" on the Shares tab ?

It should give you the size of each share.

I just looked. It can't see the size of the content of a folder, I need to go into the folder to see how much space it uses.

Since I'm using it as a media server amongst other things, it's going to take a while to go through it like that.

 

Do you know of another way?

I've looked into it.

 

I've got a shared called data. The total size is 19 TB.
If I add up all the folders within the data share, it gives med 14.1 TB in total.

There is no files in data, they're within their respective folder.

 

I've used 

du -s -h

to summarize it and get in in TB/GB.

 

According to that, I'm missing/using 4.9 TB of data, I can't tell where is.

 

Any ideas how to go forward from this?

I've still got trobles with this, and I don't know where to proceed from this.

 

Anyone got any ideas I can try out?

Try install ncdu via Nerdpack and type

ncdu /mnt/user/

to a Terminal.

A quick Google search tells me it's the same as du as trurl linked me to.

Iv'e tried it now.

When it run it in 

ncdu /mnt/user/

It says 18.8 TB. which sounds right according to disk usage.

But if I take the data folder in 

ncdu /mnt/user/data

I get around 13.8 TB which is around the same as disk usage.

Again I'm missing about 5 TB, that I can't tell where is.
