February 14, 20224 yr Hello In the "Main" tab in Unraid my Cache drive shows 444GB being used. I am trying to figure out what's taking all this space so I can clean it up. I have installed QDirStat docker, however that one only shows 350.5GB being used. Is there some good way to figure out what's taking up the other 100 GB ?
February 14, 20224 yr Community Expert File system overhead for 300,000+ files and 333,000+ directories, perhaps...
February 14, 20224 yr Look closely: It says ">350.5 GB", i.e. MORE THAN 350.5 GB. In most cases, that means that you don't have permissions to scan some of the directories. In recent versions (no older than 2 years, V1.6.1 or newer; current: 1.8), QDirStat explicitly also tells you that. Edited February 14, 20224 yr by HuHa
February 14, 20224 yr Author Thanks, I did see a list of directories that QDirStat couldn't access and I manually looked through them but didn't see anything that would add up to 100GB. Just trying to make sure I am not missing something obvious.
February 14, 20224 yr Also please notice that QDirStat uses 1024-based units, i.e. 1 kB = 1024 Bytes, 1 MB = 1024 kB, 1 GB = 1024 MB. In the latest versions, a right click on the size column will show you the size in Bytes. Edited February 14, 20224 yr by HuHa
