Bogus error: There is not enough space on the disk
OK, this has me mystified, and I'm frankly getting a bit desperate - I sincerely hope someone can help me out with this! I have my entire iTunes music library on my NV+ (over 30,000 files), and ton...
Whatever Chirpa was thinking, he's on the right track - when I connect as admin I see 1.33TB total space with 424GB free, and the disc space error goes away. Reconnecting with my normal user account drops the total and free space numbers back down and the disc space error comes back. All of this seems to imply that the problem is related to quotas (on the NAS rather than locally :) ), so here you go:
Including myself I have two users, and Frontview says their total consumption is 939 GB (68%) of 1363 GB used.
Both users are in the default "users" primary group (the only group I have), which has a 1,200,000MB quota - I believe this was a system default and I've never changed it.
Frontview says the other user has consumed 51,276MB of their 100,000MB quota.
Frontview says I've used 910,925MB of my 1,200,000MB quota. Windows reports 937GB total with 47.9GB free and I get a disc space error.
If I increase my quota to an excessive 1,300,000MB then Windows reports .99TB total with 126GB free, and I get a disc space error.
If I decrease my quota to 1,100,000MB then Windows reports 889GB total with 0 bytes free, and I get a disc space error.
Some of this could be coming from the old question of whether 1K=1000 or 1024, but without doing some complicated math I have to say those numbers just don't look like binary vs. decimal can explain the fact that the NAS is only 68% full, and yet I can't access the remaining 32% as a non-admin user.
WhoCares? - You piqued my interest, so I checked the local quota settings for my mapped X: drive to see what you were talking about. If I map the drive using the admin account then I see the Quota tab, and quota management is in fact enabled (though it's set to "no limit"). However, I also discovered why I didn't even know these local quotas exist: when I map the drive using my regular user account then the Quota tab isn't there, and since I never map drives using an admin account I therefore never see it...
