So rewind a few years ago when I first set up my FreeNas box. I probably have something not configured correctly but let me try to splain it.

I use this system as a samba share so that's pretty much all. 2 x 2TB drives in a simple mirror. Aging hardware has me looking to upgrade but I made a copy of my data and to my surprise the data on my windows drive says I am at 330-ish GB. FreeNAS on the other hand has me at ~59%, a little over 1TB which matches what windows indicates for the mapped drive. (765 GB Free of 1.75 TB)

What the what??

Trying to understand so I don't make the same mistake on the new one.

If you have snapshots, and I hope you do, then the space allocated on Freenas belong to files that have been deleted but still exist as part of the snapshots.
This is expected. If you need to free up space, then you can delete some of the earlier snapshots that point to the deleted data and Freenas would be able to recover the space.

No there are not any snapshots. The total data that I migrated off of the NAS to a local disk was only about 330GB. Also I noticed that in explorer that the shared drive shows the same free space but with a capacity of 1.03TB. I do understand that there is some overhead ad that my 2TB storage will not be a full 2TB but my simple math leads me to believe that there should be 1.4TB of free space. Well that is my assumption anyway. There is enough here that makes me think that something is amiss in my set up.

Here is the output from zfs get all storage- if it's helpful.

I'm not sure how or what but it looks like you have 735GB of data within the storage- dataset itself.

Yep, something doesn't add up. Seems like an unmounted dataset, or the "storage-" dataset contains snapshots or other files in the amount of 600GB or so.

Is there a way to check this from CL? when I go to snapshots in the UI it is empty.

Do you have any quota or reservation on the volume? You can check that under the GUI in Storage and look at the dataset properties.

Nope - everything is set to '0'

I have even gone as far as trying a factory reset but the system throws a few errors in the console. Probably explains why upgrading to 11.1 fails as well. I have also attempted to burn 11.2 onto another USB flash drive and boot into that one. Fails as best I can tell, just get a flashing cursor and nothing else.

Then you could check what your snapshots looks like. I suspect a hidden dataset conflicting with a folder of the same name that will cause it to remain unmounted. A bit far fetch but I don't see other explanation at the moment.
Best to run the command and point the content to be stored in a file so yu can look at it on your side:

zfs list -t snapshot -r storage- >somefile.txt

I will give that a try... In other news I did manage to successfully upgrade to 11.2 U7 and restore my config. Still have the same issue though.

Try:
zfs list -t snapshot -r "storage-"

I don't think the "-" at the end of the volume name is causing the issue.
If this works, you can redirect to the file with :
zfs list -t snapshot -r "storage-" > somefile.txt

Then do:
zfs list -t snapshot > somefile.txt
But it should recognize the volume as a dataset unless the name is for some reason not being recognize correctly.

@mrramsey , I just noticed the details of the "zfs get all..." seems incomplete as you should expect more properties.
