I've noticed my media share filling up as of late. I still have plenty of room left, but decided to delete some old stuff to free up space. Despite deleting a number of things it seems my share is not growing in free space. I did some digging and it turns out that my media share (using CIFS, and according to Windows) takes up about 5.8TB. That seems about right since I have hundreds of movies taking up a lot of the storage. The odd part is, is that according to the FreeNAS GUI, under Storage > Volumes, the Used column says it has taken up 7.6TB. I can understand if there is a little disparity, but a little under 2TB difference? Seems like something is off. It's almost as if deleting things from the share deletes them from showing up in Windows, etc., but it isn't freeing up any space. Storage > Volumes also shows a free space of 6.4 TB which matches what Windows shows. With my setup, I should have roughly 14+TB of storage space which matches up with what the FreeNAS GUI says in terms of used/free space. It's like I have a ton of hidden files somewhere.
