[Solved] Share reports only having 410GB free when that's only what is used

[mrcrlee]

Hello,

 

I have a share, with what the share page reports having 410GB free, with the following configuration:

 

Name: crashplan-backup

Comments:

Allocation method:

Minimum free space: 400GB

Split level: Not set - split function not used

Included disk(s): Disk 9

Excluded disk(s): None

Use cache disk: No

Share empty? Yes

 

Disk 9 Hitachi_HDS5C3030ALA630_MJ1321YNG0MR1A (sdn) 25 °C 3 TB

Used: 439 GB

Free:  2.56 TB

 

When I go to the share via shell, and try to create a folder, this happens:

 

root@Tower:/mnt/user/crashplan-backup# mkdir test

mkdir: cannot create directory `test': No space left on device

 

It sounds like this should be something obvious. I have stopped, rebooted, and started the array to no avail.

 

I was not able to create the share simply by using the settings above. For the share to successfully be created, I had to create it with all disks included, then remove the disks I did not want to include.

 

Here is the output when I tried to create it directly to disk 9, originally.

 

May 20 11:43:39 Tower avahi-daemon[8727]: Service "Tower-AFP" (/services/afp.service) successfully established.

May 20 11:45:25 Tower emhttp: shcmd (15613): mkdir '/mnt/user/crashplan'

May 20 11:45:25 Tower shfs/user: shfs_mkdir: assign_disk: crashplan (28) No space left on device

May 20 11:45:25 Tower emhttp: _shcmd: shcmd (15613): exit status: 1

May 20 11:45:25 Tower emhttp: shcmd (15614): rm '/boot/config/shares/crashplan.cfg'

 

It clearly doesn't like disk 9. I currently have the disk shared directly and can back up directly to the drive through AFP. But if I want to create a share and use it that way, no luck.

 

Here are the current contents of disk 9:

root@Tower:/mnt/disk9# ls -la

du -h : 410G

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

After all that, I discovered that under the Settings/Share Settings, some time ago I had not included Disk9 in the list of available drives for user shares.

 

Unfortunately, the share page does let you create shares for drives that are not included in sharing but then picks disk1 as a default for a usable share.
