Storage went up 500GB randomly - Possibly due to Snapshots?
Here are the order of events. 1. Upgraded to 6.7.4. At this time, I had about 1TB free of 9TB. 2. Got an email that said "Less than 20% of volume joshnas's capacity is free. Performance on volum...
Thanks for the info.
I went ahead and deleted all my snapshots:
(each different share is the same, no snapshots)

Could they be hiding somewhere?
I definitely want to expand my storage, of course, but not in the position right now.

First wait a bit, since it can take a little while for the free space to re-appear.
But sometimes old snapshots do "hide". Do you have ssh enabled?
Another possibility is that the system needs to be balanced. Though it might not be a good idea to try that right now (since you have so little free space). Do you have any way to offload ~1 TB of data? If so, you could do that, then balance, then put the data back.
Ah, as I was typing this, I'm back up to 1.12TB free of 8.17TB.
If I were to balance, should I still take off 500GB or so, or can I do it now that I have more free space?
Thanks for your help so far.
