Sys32 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) 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.

itimpi Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited August 19, 2019 by itimpi Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Xfs uses around 8GB for an empty 8TB drive, for metadata, filesystem housekeeping. Quote Link to comment
Sys32 Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Okay, thanks for the explanation Quote Link to comment
