May 12, 20179 yr I don't understand how this is possible. Is there something I have set up wrongly? My share says there's 6.5Tb space. My network drive thinks it has 9.09Tb of space. Even looking at all of my drives I have a hard time seeing how I could hit 9Tb of space. I have 8Tb of space, 2Tb on a parity disc, and then I have 2Tb of cache. The total available space of the array is 8Tb. But one of the disks (disk 1) is excluded, that is 2Tb of space not available to the "Movies" share. How can it be that my network drive thinks it has these 2Tb af space available anyway? Is there something I havn't set up correctly? Is Unraid doing some calculations I'm not aware of? Or why does my network share think it has so much space? Edited May 14, 20179 yr by Squazz
May 12, 20179 yr Community Expert Available space = 8TB array + 2TB cache = 10TB total = 9.09TiB Windows Used Space = 6.42TB = 5.83TiB Edited May 12, 20179 yr by johnnie.black

Even when taking into consideration that it is showing sizes in TiB. The total available space of the array is 8Tb. But one of the disks (disk 1) is excluded, that is 2Tb of space not available to the "Movies" share. How can it be that my network drive thinks it has these 2Tb af space available anyway?

May 14, 20179 yr Community Expert On the shares pages click on compute next to the Movies share and post a screenshot.

I now see that after my post was originally created, I ended up including all disks due to needing the space for an initial transfer. When the initial transfer is completed, I will play around with this again and post a screenshot

This time I made a share for myself, ad dedicated a single 500Gb drive to this share. As the images show, Windows & UnRaid doesn't seem to agree upon how much space I actually have? (- My UI in Windows is Danish, sorry) What am I missing here? Edited May 14, 20179 yr by Squazz
May 14, 20179 yr Community Expert Again it's correct, like the warning says the share (that's the Kasper folder) exists on disk1 even if it's not included, share also has cache enable, so: Total = 2TB + 500GB + 2TB = 4.5TB = 4.09TiB
May 14, 20179 yr Author But, why is it then using a share that is not included? How can I stop it from doing that? Because that might then be the underlying problem. Isn't it enough to only include the drives you want to use? Do you also have to exclude the rest?
May 14, 20179 yr Author And even the usage for the share is off. Even with my Cache drive 100% filled (2TB) I'm nowhere near the reported 3.18TiB. Edited May 14, 20179 yr by Squazz

You either include disk1 for your share Kasper or move the share Kasper to disk5.

I should be able to figure out a CLI, but I'm still not sure how I would get around moving the share. Is there a guide somewhere that I'm not knowing exists?
May 14, 20179 yr Community Expert A share is just a folder on the root of any disk, in this case just delete it from disk1.

Boom! I found out how to boot up MC from PuTTU and have now deleted the folder from disk 1. Windows responded promptly. Thank you very much both of you. Now I both understand how space for the shares is calculated, and I know how to use MC

Is it possible to leverage the cache as a jump-station for my files, but at the same time not let Windows know this space is available? The only space I want shown is the space in the array.
May 14, 20179 yr No, this is not possible. The alternative is to set "no cache" for a share, which then reports the array size only, but file copies will bypass the cache in this case.

That's too bad, but I guess I'll just have to work with what I've got to work with then Thank you so much both of you
