RN516 - 1TB in space lost after defrag

I've defragged my RN516 unit, before there was 4,5TB free, afterwards 3,5TB. I know all pointers to snapshots can get broken after a defrag, so I've deleted all snapshots, but that has freed up no space at all. Also ran a btrfs balance, but that didn't make any difference as well. What gives, where did my 1TB of free space go?

    Perhaps try creating a new share, copying the data from the old share to the new share, then deleting the original share.
