How to reclaim disk space

[rmont]

I know this is a common question, but I searched the forums far and wide and can't figure out a wierd situation with space availability on my disk.

- if I run du on the disk, it shows 95Mb used
- when I look into storage -> pools on the web interface, I see 200 Gb used

- I checked for .recycle directories and recycle bin settings, but there are none
- I have no snapshots on the disk

This happens when I use sabnzbd/sonarr.
Apparently space is not reclaimed neither when sonarr moves the downloaded files to another disk, nor when sabnzbd cancels a broken download.
I have already checked in the download folders and the files are properly deleted from the file system. Just the space is not shown as free any more.

I have also tried both symlink and copy on sonarr.

I understand that deletes are not real time, but the space is not made available even after 1 hour with very low utilization.
If I reboot the server, the space becomes available again.

Where's the catch?

Thanks for helping

Where's the catch?

It's a bug that seems to be on track to never be fixed.

You need to restart your SAB jail to free the space.

Thanks, I feel better now!
At least I know it's not me...

You can schedule a jail restart with a cron task every few hours with little risk/impact and it will keep it under control.
