April 11, 20233 yr Hello to everyone. On my unraid server, I have a Btrfs RAID5 pool that apparently shows an inconsistent number of free space. I assume this is because there are Btrfs snapshots saved on this drive. However, I would consider this as a bug. When issue df -H command it shows me: /dev/sdc1 6.2T 363G 3.8T 9% /mnt/daten Also on the pool page: Not so on the dashboard: Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

April 12, 20233 yr Community Expert The dashboard is basically showing the wrong amount of used space, free will be correct, but like mentioned btrfs raid5/6 has known issues, recommend updating to v6.12 and using zfs raidz instead.
April 12, 20233 yr Author Thank you for pointing me in the right direction👍 Didn't know about this downside but I'm aware that zfs is coming. That's the plan anyway to migrate.
