Volume C is approaching capacity

Hi,

The readyNAS we bought last week gave us a message "Volume C is approaching capacity: 100% used, 11G available" after creating 3 iSCSI targets. It also displays "Disk Space: 5533 GB (99%) of 5543 GB used, Additional 10 GB reserved for snapshots".

There is nothing in the iSCSI targets, not even attach them to server yet.

My question is do we have to worry about this?

We will not do backup or anything else straight on the readyNAS, it is used as an extra storage on our server.

Regards
Neal

Re: Volume C is approaching capacity

That's fine.

The iSCSI targets are stored as files on Volume C, under /c/.iscsi

So a 1TB target uses up 1TB of space. So long as you don't fill 100% of the data volume (have a little free space like you currently do) things should work fine.

The warning is useful for helping know when to get higher capacity disks or when they need to think about freeing up some space for users who aren't solely using a NAS for iSCSI.
