BTFRS Volume reporting large size of 'Other' as used space

[Overlawd]

Recently purchased a T6-423 (TOS 5.0.176) and created a volume with 6 1TB SSDs - Usable space reported as 4.5 TB. I have created a few shared folders which take a couple hundred GBs, but when checking 'Usage details' for Volume, I see a large section of used space, almost 3TB, being used by 'Others'. What does this 'Other's refer to and any way to recover that some of that used space?

In addition to shared folders and user directories, the space occupied by applications, file system snapshots, etc. is 'other'.

Thanks for the reply, but it still seems excessive. I have not enabled system snapshots, only have 3 applications installed and 2 users. I have moved large media files that I had on the system to external storage. Is there a way to view if there are system snapshots stored somewhere?

Log in to SSH terminal to check the usage details of the volume.

Code: Select all

cd /Volume1

Code: Select all

du -sh *

Hi!

I run the command and it output: 13T .
Does that mean anything?

[Overlawd]

Sorry. I had one part of the command missing. On the output from running the full command, I see a folder which seems to be rather large:
6.1T @sysSnapShoot

The size of the snapshot file is incorrectly calculated.
You can delete snapshot files in TOS Desktop - Backup - File System Snapshot - Snapshot List.

That solved the problem. Thank you very much!
