Clearing out a drive to remove it - 33,6MB of "invisible" data left


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I wanted to do some changes to my unRAID and for that I need to remove 3 drives first. Because of that, I wanted to use the Clear driven, then remove Method. But now after clearing the drive (via unBalance and by hand), I have 33,6MB left on my first test drive. Do I need to get rid of the remaining 33,6MB or is that just some internal config stuff? The Disk itself says "0 files / folders left" via the WebGUI and when accessing the Disk via SMB, it's just empty.

I would say that is some disk overhead used by the file system. Only other possibility is some hidden / inaccessible files due to permissions. You could try looking using console with root user. But I'd bet it is just overhead.
