10TB is entirely different :)
'df', 'du' and 'stat' should all be available under Linux (ssh to command line or use terminal if you are using Tos6.1.530>)
F5-221 TOS7.0.0777 - 4x4TB (Ironwolf) Traid
F2-424 TOS7.0.0777 - 2x500GB nvme (P3) Traid, 2x6TB HDD (HGST) Traid
F2-221 TOS7.0.0777 - 1x3TB Ext4, 1x4TB Btrfs
F2-425+ TOS7.0.0777 - 2x500GB nvme (P3) Traid, 2x6TB HDD (EXOS) Traid

Have you ever used the TerraSync app? It keeps track of file versions and uses additional space for it.

I'll look, thank you.

I haven't had time to wrestle with this for a few days, likely I'll try all the suggestions over the weekend.

ok, so using the du tool, the excessive drive space is being tied up in:

/Volume1/@sysSnapShoot/SystemSnapShot

what's odd is, the usage reported by DU in that folder is larger than my total available drive space. (the folders are blue? compressed?)

There is a utility on the TNAS web interface called Snapshot, but it doesn't appear to be installed... I may have played with it in the past.

because I'm not a linux guy, and I don't want to do something stupid, what's the best way to proceed? just delete these folders from the linux interface?

(some kind of rm -r *, i assume?)
