Chewbr0ca Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I upgraded a 2 TB drive to a 4 TB and in the unraid webui total space is higher, but I have a mapped drive on Windows thats still showing the old total storage amount. I have restarted both unraid and the windows machine and still says old total. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Share free space is derived from the drives in use. When that share starts to use the new drive, the total will update. Whether or not new files to that share will be written to the new drive depends on global and share allocation settings. If you can't determine from those settings what is happening, attach the diagnostics zip file to your next post in this thread and ask for help. Quote Link to comment

I am not sure I understand your answer that seems focused on Unraid (Diag). My understanding of the question is that @Chewbr0ca has no problems within Unraid but with Windows not showing the appropriate space. I suppose using a network drive. It should work, I did add new drives yesterday and the Windows Network drive is properly updated. Did you try to delete and recreate the drive in Windows ? Quote Link to comment

Until Unraid gets around to having at least 1 file belonging to the share on a drive the drive is not counted towards the available space when querying across the network. In practice the first file (or folder) tends to get created almost immediately so users do not notice this behavior. 1 Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Alright, this is clearer now, I stand corrected. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 That's a problem though. It really shouldn't work like that if at all possible. Not only is it counter intuitive, but many possibilities for when a copy from Windows will fail because it sees the incorrect free space. Quote Link to comment
