Moving data between shares: File space taken up

I am moving a few TBs of data between two shares on my 316. I noticed that before the move I had about 800GB free, now it's down to 15GB. Wondering if there's a reason why this would be, some temp data, or if there's a way to fix this... It's just, weird.

Do you have snapshots enabled? If so, try manually deleting them on the two shares you moving around.

Thanks...

Seems that linux mv command does a copy then a delete at the end... so now I am just looping through each folder and doing it one at a time... Works, with really no drawbacks.
