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. Dat...
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.

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

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.
Thanks for your feedback & hints!
I tried to set quota for the share having the questionable size. it does not work, neither for 1 Mb, 1 TB oder 20000000 TB (more than the questionable size shown for the "Backup"-Share). See picture below...
Quota worked for another share. I set a quota and than disabled it again. No change of the size of the "Backup"-Share or the whole "Data" volume.

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
