Utilization is at 80% all the time

Hi, I'm using the RN312 + the eda500.  Looking at the utilization graph I noticed it is at 80% constantly, since the system went online.  All, min, max, average, it's all 80% does this seem normal?  I don't have any apps installed and the only services I am running is http, https, smb, and upnp.  The system took it's first snapshot today too (35GB) and still 80%.  Any thoughts?

    I believe that is exactly what he is saying.  That's the only graph with utilization label.

     

    It's a large volume that spans the RN312 and the EDA500 (and if I recall correctly is fairly new), so I am suggesting cross-checking the info on the performance graph with the info on the volume page and share page.

    To exclude, that any kind of upnp-based client is constantly challenging your system you might want to switch off that service and reboot.

    This is the volume utilization graph?  

     

    If so:

    • Did you try looking at the EDA and the RN312 volumes separately?
    • Does the summary on the volume tab and the details on the share page also show 80% usage?

      Hi Stephen, why do I bother posting in the forum when I could just be PM'ing you! :smileylol:

       

      This is the volume utilization graph?  

       Yes.  Even if I select All or everything, it still shows 80%.

       

      If so:

      • Did you try looking at the EDA and the RN312 volumes separately?

      My flexraid array spans both chassis.

      • Does the summary on the volume tab and the details on the share page also show 80% usage?

      Hmmmm, I'll take a look.

       

      THanks

        This confuses a lot. What are you talking about? The volume utilization in capacity? Is it just 80% full?
