Freshly formatted 8TB had 56GB used??


Recommended Posts

I just set up a new UnRaid setup, formatted my drives, and Disk 1 has 80GB used (the 21GB docker image is there), and Disk 2 has 56GB used, even though when you navigate to it, there's nothing there. I've seen other forum posts here saying that a 4TB drive has a couple gigs reserved, perhaps put there pre-allocated for directory structures or something like that. But 56GB on an 8TB is outrageous! Is there any way to fix this?

 

Thanks in advance!

I did a bit more research on reflinks. It looks like when it's formatted vis XFS, there's a command happening behind the scenes with reflink=1. I would imagine that there's someway to reformat my drives with reflink=0. I lookd into this feature, and I don't think I'll need it as it's useful for VMs and I'm not going to be dealing with that.
