So I have this problem with my own dataset and I cannot find the reason for it. This problem appeared after I made a VeraCrypt volume (size 1,0 TB) in the dataset via samba connection from windows. When it was new data used showed correctly, but after I started to transfer my files from the non-encrypted space into my mounted encrypted volume, my dataset suddenly started to grow in size. However when I select my dataset folder with windows and count the used space (with folder properties) it shows correctly as 1,06 TB is used in reality. To me it seams like FreeNAS counts the Veracrypt volume as over two times in size when data is written in the VC volume itself (in another words the VC file is just being modified and should not affect the space count as it keeps the same size always).
To be clear, I have deleted all the files from plain dataset that I have copied successfully in the VC volume. This is beyond my understanding.
