Drive Detail "Other"

Post by dj13990 »

I was looking at my Tnas and I noticed my drive was filling up. I looked at the device detail and saw that "other" is almost 11 gigs. I looked on the forum and tried a few things such as reenabling snapshots and removing them. I even SSH'd into the system and found some old snapshots. I tried reenabling snapshots but they don't show up. I can't delete them from the terminal either as they are read-only. any help or suggestions to figure out what that "Other is and deleting

If you can find the names of the snapshot plan in ssh, recreate those snapshots EXACTLY (spelling, upper, lower case) and they should show up.

I did try the snapshot recreate, but no I can't seem to get a list of them to show up. I was able to get some and delete them a few days ago. but I am unable to get the rest to reappear.

@troy, I already did that step. There were a few and they deleted just fine. The "other" is what is left after deleting everything I could.

Have you looked at both 'file system' and 'volume' snapshots? Get a list of remaining snapshots by listing the folder(s) from cli.

Has the deletion been successful now? Does "other" still occupy a lot of capacity?

Yes, I think I finally got all of them deleted. I had to try about 10 times and it finally found some of the system snapshots. I was able to delete them and that cleared up all the extra space.
