Hard disc space went full when moving files internally. (?)

Post by phphilip »

Hi,

I am using a TS-453D with 2 discs and Raid 1 and i noticed something odd...

Yesterday i moved 550GB of files from my home folder to a shared folder (still internally on my NAS).
And when i check my volumes history it says that i have added the same amount (550GB) to the NAS, but the only thing i have done is to move the files internally on my NAS (See attached images)

Why does it looks like i have copied the files when i actually moved them?
Can this depend on my raid configuration?

Hi thank you for quick respons :)

No. Snapshots is deactivated.

Also i am quite new in this area so Im still learning every day.
I dont know if this has to do with whether i have a thick or thin volume?
In my understanding this should not have to with this since thick or thing allocates partly/whole storage pool, which i have chosen.

Did you move it via external client or internal file station?

Depending on the circumstances the external client might copy/erase (takes a while) or actually move (instantly)

Ah okey.

I did move the files with an external client, via Adobe Lightroom.
I wonder if its possible to configure so that Lightroom move (instantly).
Do you know any known work around for that?

OK, no problem.
The most important was that i understood what´s happening in my NAS when i moved images via Lightroom.

Thanks so much for your help, really appreciated! :)
