Inaccurate reporting of used/free volume space?

 

Hi,

may anybody now why the "Data" volume shows the following strange negative space and only the snapshot space is shown?

 

 

FW is 6.9.3

I can access my data using win10 explorer. Data seem to be there.

Furthermore the backup share shows a strange figure for the consumed space, too:

 

Thanks for any help:smileyhappy:

 

Carsten

  • Try disabling quota on the volume settings wheel, not the share settings wheel.  Then enable it again.

    Hi cwangnick

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    Have you enable Quotas? Can you try disabling then re-enabling the feature if you have it enabled.

     

    Also might not hurt to clean the cache of your browser and re-access the admin page.

     

    Regards

      Hi Marc,

      thanks for your reply. No quota enabled. Any other hint? something with the snapshot function as only this is shown as only data on this share

      Regards

        The space used on shares and total space used by snapshots on the volume uses quotas on the volume even if you haven't set any on a particular share. The option is configurable under System > Volumes (click on the Settings wheel for the volume, go down to Settings and in the Summary section you'll see a checkbox for Quota).

         

        You could try disabling quotas on the volume and re-enabling them. This should force a quota rescan.

      Hi Marc,

      your hint with the volume rescan finally worked.

      Thanks also to you!

       

      Different Topic:

      There are just small "mistakes" in the German translation:

      It should say "Freier Speicher"

      Furthermore it is not clear what "Geben Sie i...." should say.

      In English it is "Type" and why is it not "Typ" in German?

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

      Cheers
