Odd disk usage question

2000000 MB = (2000000 / 1024 / 1024) TB which is a bit under 1.91TB

Could you try a reboot under System > Shutdown with a quota check?

What version of RAIDiator are you running?

Welcome to the forum!

i just picked a quota number bigger than the amount of storage - i have another drive waiting to go in so would increase the quota again.

RAIDiator version is reported as RAIDiator 4.1.8 [1.00a043]

thanks for the quick response.

You do realise that you don't have to restrict the user to a quota like that. Without a quota, the user will be limited simply in that they can't add more data than free space on the volume. Setting the quota to 0 is effectively an "unlimited" quota.

Try the reboot with quota check and report if you still have a problem.

yeah well i thought the zero quote would be the case - but couldnt get the permissions to play ball when i started - i will give it a go and report back !

thanks

Well most oddly that seems to have sorted the problem out - thanks!!!

Now reporting 287Gb free of 1.8Tb Result.

Now to fix the crap performance - windows file copy only reporting 3.5 MBpsec - more later.

many thanks mdgm.

What brand and model disks?

What version of RAIDiator?

How is your Windows machine connected to the NAS? Via ethernet? Does your router/switch have gigabit ethernet? Are you using Cat5e or newer ethernet cables?

If you download your logs (Status > Logs > Download all logs) and extract the zip contents what does partition.log look like?

2 x Samsung 2TB HD204UI - no particularly fast but i think should go faster than that !

RAIDiator 4.1.8 [1.00a043]

NAS is connected directly into a netgear FS116 - 16 port 10/100 switch - no gigabit
PC is connected into the same switch via a patch panel - i have structured cabling in the house (port on wall behind PC, port to patch panel etc) cables are all Cat5e sorry no gigabit.

Also - i did disable journaling and enable jumbo frames - but i just found that my switch doesnt do them....

So you're using Flex-RAID not X-RAID.

Is it two separate volumes C and D or one volume?

yes - thats right - wasnt interested in X-RAID i just needed bulk storage - i've got all the fast raid 5 (3x1Tb Caviar Black) on my system.

two volumes C and D
