Reporting wrong disk usage

Hello,

 

So yesterday I created a share with the fill method most free, to spread the data across the drives more evenly as they are read frequently.

 

What occurred next was that it started to report way higher usage than expected.

 

I have attached a picture of the current array report, notice the "Used" amount, currently 8.80> GB, but any shares report barely used. Same for the base OS.

 

Build log:

8.8GB is only about 1% of a 8TB drive.    That is typical for such a disk with almost no files on it as 1% is about the overhead for creating the file system control structures when you format a disk.   I suspect you were interpreting the 8.8GB as 8.8TB :)
