HI
As described, there was the warning about 70% usage.
Also it states for optimal performance stay below 80%.
It seems I am apparently doing that already.
In the gui in storage, it is 76% used with:
Usable Capacity: 17.96 TiB
Partial output of sudo zpool list -v
NAME SIZE ALLOC FREE CKPOINT EXPANDSZ FRAG CAP DEDUP HEALTH ALTROOT
Main-Pool 18.2T 12.8T 5.43T - - 2% 70% 1.97x ONLINE /mn
dedup
mirror-1 13G 3.34G 9.66G - - 61% 25.7% - ONLINE
So that is where it seems to get the info from.
The pool is 5 x 4TB drives in raidz1 with 2 x 16GB optane for deduplication.
I am apparently making good use of dedup & compression to save lot of space:
What is the problem with the GUI? There seems little logic to the output.
Oh and for the negative nelly dedup 'haters' from zpool status -Dv:
dedup: DDT entries 4745116, size 755B on disk, 243B in core
So a quick calculation makes the 3.34GB dedup data to be spot on , with a eye watering 1GB use of memory.
The purpose in the pool is multiple sparse ISCSI shares for games, working very well.
What is the problem with the GUI? There seems little logic to the output.
What am I missing?
As for actual use of the pool, presently apparently 70%.
Why the alert at 70%?
I understand at 80% capacity, it behaves differently.
With everything I may to put on the nas, whether games or otherwise would be a maximum of 85%.
Should I even care about that?
My concern would be ISCSI performance.
Oh and not inclined to get more storage, unless a drive fails.
Thanks
