File/Folder size way out when using file copy in Windows to unRAID

[fishface]

unRAID Version: 6.11.1

 

Have my old unRAID1 rig and a new build I'm testing, unRAID2, both are running Version: 6.11.1.

 

The shares have been set-up the same, the old unRAID1, doesn't have a cache drive.

I'm running some test copies from mapped drives in Windows, so I'm copying from say unRAID1 datastore1 to unRAID2 datastore1.

 

When I right click folders within the (see screenshot), then use the Properties to get a file count and estimate it incorrectly reports back that the size is 10.1PB, neither of the unRAIDs are 10PB, the size of unRAID1 is 10TB and the new unRAID2 18TB. so what is going on?

 

The problem is it will not copy as it thinks it doesn't have enough space to copy.

 

The 2 folders in the screenshots are ~6.9GB in total.

Is datastore the name of one of your Unraid user shares?

Yes, on both servers.

unRAID1 was upgraded from 6.5.3 to 6.11.1

unRAID2 was a clean fresh install of 6.11.1 - using trial license currently

The user name for access is the same on all hosts, and is set to read/write access.

 

I vaguely remember running into a similar issue at work years ago, it was SAMBA/Windows causing the issue IIRC, protocol version.

root@unRAID1:/mnt/user# du -sh datastore1/AudioBooks/
6.1G    datastore1/AudioBooks/
root@unRAID1:/mnt/user# du -sh datastore1/audio\ samples/
862M    datastore1/audio samples/
root@Rutland:/mnt/user# 

 

I should say, it's the "Size" reported by Windows, not the "Size on disk" , which appears to be correct.

 

My plan is to use rsync over ssh when I finally go to copy all the data over, but other users in my household use Windows - I'm also having SSH issues with the new install as opposed to the upgraded one.
