Deleting Files and Snapshots does not free up space -

Hello

My Admin console is showing only  1.07TB free from 10.9TB (4x 4TB raid 5).

 

My ISCSI connection to the only volume is showing 5.34TB free from 9.8TB.

 

Why is the console free space so low??  I have no stored snapshots.

Thanks

    Is your LUN thin or thick?

     

    As far as NAS volume usage is concerned the LUN is a file on the data volume. In this case a file that is about 10TB in size.

    For thick LUNs (which are usually best) whether there is no data on the LUN or it is full it will take up the same amount of space in current data.

    Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

        I received the logs and can confirm their are no snapshots. Looks like you must have current data filling up all that space.
