Any way to make the allocation unit size or whatever linux calls it smaller? My plex metadat folder is only 6 gig but takes up 153 ont he disk. Obviously these files are very small as they are just small pictures. I do not keep any large files on this drive besides the docker.img. movie and tv files go straight to the array.

Are you sure they are actually taking up that much room? If you are just trusting what windows tells you, it's probably wrong. If you aren't comfortable on the command line, try the Krusader docker.

If you're checking the size through Windows (Folder properties), the size is vastly incorrect.  My properties on my plex folder actually shows size on disk larger than the entire size of the cache drive.

 

To get the real size from a command prompt,

 

du -c -s /mnt/cache/appdata/plex      (or whatever the folder actually is)

 

Or hit the resource monitor in CA and hit calculate appdata size

 

What Windows thinks:

(And Windows hasn't finished counting yet!)

 

Not bad storing 624Gig on a 240Gig SSD

 

My actual size:
