Readynas Pro Reporting much larger used volume than total of
I have a Readnynas Pro Pioneer unit running firmware 4.2.24
In front view its reporting that I have used 81% of my disk space 7577GB of 9250 GB (spread across six 2 TB disks in X-Raid2)
Windows also reports this and the total grows by several hundred GB every day, even though I am not adding anywhere near that total to the NAS. However when I go into windows explorer and check the properties for each share they total 1092GB of disk space used.
anyone have any ideas where the phantom disc space usage is coming from?

- That was the issue... I had been getting backup errors for the last week and had not had time to investigate.
the NAS was backing up my home shares to this phantom USB drive which was really just another folder in the home shares... odd
Thanks to everyone for their help
