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

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.

Regards

 

Carsten

    Thank you Stephen.

    disabling / enabling of quota on Volume level was the solution. Now the volume space is correctly displayed :smileyhappy:

    Is this a bug if you use quota?

    Sincerely

    Carsten
