Phantom Files

[csearle]

So I had an ambitious project. My objective was to up grade my Nas box from a regular PC, to an actual server. I migrated my setup over to my Levono 430T without issues.. When I first set up my original set up I created A dataset called "Media Files" In that I made a directory Called "Media Files". When I Copied all my necessary files to the "Media Files" all my files went to the root of my pool. (not to sure why)

Everything worked as I wanted to and I was happy with it, however in the back of my mind it was bugging me, so when I migrated my setup over to the 430T I was going to have to create a new Dataset "Media_Volume" and move everything over. When I did finally carried out this task, and made sure everything work for Plex perfectly, my plan was to delete the old files and Dataset.

I was able to delete all the old files from the dataset, however my Pool Storage shows that I have the original files sitting somewhere..
Im also having issues deleting the original dataset "Media Files"

I am hopping someone here can guid me in the right direction..

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Look for snapshots first ... it's in the UI under Storage.

 

[csearle]

Thank you!! Can I delete this snapshot?

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

That's up to you to decide. You have not even shown us which dataset you have a snapshot or two of.

 

[csearle]

Just edited my first reply

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Well, if you are sure you definitely never want to roll back the "Media Library" dataset to the state of Jan 17th, you can delete that.

 

[csearle]

im defiantly sure, its deleted, still see no change in my Pool and dataset sizes

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Then please post the output of zfs list -t all. I can't promise I can look at that today but there are others around.

[Patrick M. Hausen]

The root dataset of your pool still has a snapshot of more than 500G:
Candace@Candace-2021-01-17_00-00 527G - 527G -

You might want to delete that, too.

And please use "code" tags like so:

Code:

root@SirNas[~]# zfs list -t all
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
Candace 1.39T 377G 172K /mnt/Candace
Candace@Candace-2021-01-17_00-00 527G - 527G -
Candace/.system 1.49G 377G 649M legacy
Candace/.system@Candace-2020-04-06_00-00 64K - 96K -
[...]

 

[csearle]

I am not familiar with Unix Based systems So not sure how to use "code Tags". However Deleting that snapshot did bring some space back.. Thank you very much @Patrick M. Hausen. Is there a way to edit the snapshots so I pick witch dataset to snapshot? Now to Find the solution to my Dataset that I cannot delete

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Code tags here in the forum. Formatting ... it's in the toolbar when you write a post.

 

[csearle]

Ahhh its a form thing, understood I misunderstood..

 

[csearle]

Finally Deleted my "Media File" Dataset there was an extra space after "Media File " and my phantom space did come back thank you @Patrick M. Hausen
