How to cCheck Size of a share/folder?
I may be missing something very simple here but I can't seem to view the size of a share or any folder via the web admin -> shares menu. When using the list view, there are 4 columns;Name, Type, Size...
It's been requested before, so I don't think you need to post it again. Though you can if you like of course.
This sounds simple, but with btrfs file systems it actually isn't. With CoW, data blocks are shared between multiple folders. The way the NAS is structured that is limited to folders and their snapshots, but the file system isn't limited to only that structure. So even defining what the folder size means isn't that simple for btrfs generally.
For the normal OS6 share structure, the feature can be provided, but it relies on the btrfs quota package - last time I heard that was still viewed as experimental. Hopefully Netgear will add it as soon as it is fully stable.
