Featured Replies

As the title says - weird issue. not sure if I am doing something wrong.

The below shows output from the main page where it shows 188+GB.

Docker is running directory mode and not as image - attached pictures for those as well.

If you are using a directory, it will show the total space available on the storare pool/device.

I dont believe that is the case (i can be wrong). The storage pool is 4TB. The "system" share is set to Array -> Cache with cache being 4TB out which 3.79TB is free. And the Array has 22TB free. 

Since posting this has now grown to 190GB on the main screen.

Sorry, I meant it will show the used space for that pool.

Thank you! That matches up. Now I don't have to be needlessly worried!

Quick question: Do you recommend the docker folder or the image approach? With the image I had to rebuild the image twice in a span of 4 months it just kept getting corrupted.

Sometimes I see some strange issues with docker folders, so typically I recommend docker image, if it kept getting corrupt, there could be an underlying issue, but you can also test with the directory, many users use them without issues.
