Incorrect Consumed Storage
Hey guys, I hope everyone is keeping well! For some odd reason, there’s a share that is reporting an incorrect “consumed” amount in the local GUI of the NAS. The value returned is: “16777216TB” ...
Try creating a temporary share, and use a backup job to copy the contents. If that shows the correct size, you can delete the original share, and rename the temporary one to match the original's name.

Hi StephenB,
Thanks for the suggestion, I suppose I should have said in my OP that I'm a little more curious as to why the system may be displaying this value, I was thinking of that but thaught i'd see if anyone had experenced it before. Thanks all the same. :)Cheers

I get that. I have seen this posted a couple of times before, but I don't know the cause. The number happens to be 2**64 bytes (1 EiB). That is the largest possible size of a BTRFS volume.
My concern is that this might not be benign. Something isn't quite right with your btrfs on-disk structures for that subvolume (i.e. share), and that could cause problems for you later on. So if it were my system I'd be working to fix it, using the method I outlined above.
