Hello,
I have FreeNAS 11.3u4 and I was hoping this latest update was going to fix this issue. Anyway, I have two pools. I have filled on well above the 80% mark and so I added another and started moving my videos over to the new pool. The issue is I have completely removed the videos, but the size of "used" does not change. I can add videos and the size changes commensurately. However, the removal of data does not allow the "used" portion to change in Windows Explorer OR ON THE FREENAS DASHBOARD itself. Yes, I do have snapshots, but as far as I know those should disappear after 2 months or whatever I have it set to. This size hasn't changed in MONTHS. Am I missing something? I KNOW I have a lot of space now on this drive, but it shows I have 4GB left of 13TB. Clearly....not a lot of space left. I know I have deleted or "removed" at least 4TB of data from this drive. Suggestions? Ideas? I have read about a Recycle Bin, but since FreeNAS doesn't necessarily make that readily available to "delete" could the data still be in there? This would not make any sense on FreeNAS engineering to have a recycle bin that never deletes and causes the pool to never shrink. So, I need some help if anyone has any knowledge of the pain I'm going through. I would greatly appreciate it. I have noticed this happening to the new pool as well, so this isn't pool specific. I would love your help.
Thank you!
