so where is all my space being used? TS-453 PRO

[celticpiping]

Issue: In Storage Manager Overview, it's showing : 7.19TB Capacity, with 6.63TB used when Shared folders shows 2.59TB of used space in the shared folders
iSCSI Target List Capacity: 4.39TB

4 Disks in the system, 3.64TB ea

RAID 10 w/4 Disks participating

I did see a thread where someone having a similar issue, where they couldn't account for a few TB of space being used.
they ended up in an SSL session, scrubbing a log directory as administrator..

I do not have the same directory structure described in that thread, so unsure if that's my issue.

Anyone want to take a stab at finding my missing space?
I must be missing something very basic....?

Thanks,

Firmware version and build date?

Do you know how to SSH into the NAS and run programs on the command line?

[celticpiping]

sorry, I thought I put that info there...must be thinking of one of the other 100 forums I belong to!

Anywhoo, yeah I can SSH into it
However, if it requires THE 'Administrator' account, I might have trouble...
I am using a user that has group membership to 'administrator'

OK, you should be able to get the necessary results from the following commands. When pasting the results, please code wrap the text.

The first thing to look at is df (examples from my TS-451A):

Then the du command looking at the main data area:

Code: Select all

<2> du -sk /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/*                            
12	/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Download

8	/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/aquota.user
12480	/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/homes
16	/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/lost+found

As you can see, my big users are Multimedia and Public. You can drill down through your big areas to determine where the bottleneck is.

sorry, I thought I put that info there...

You still didn't provide it.

Silly me, I was looking for it in the body.

The areas I see here don't account for the missing TB space.
I'm basically backing up to 3 shared folders, and the data totals <3TB, so I guess I'm still not sure where it's being eaten up

Thanks for looking,
Rich

[MrVideo]

Your

Code: Select all

du -sk /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/*

list appears to be missing some built-in directories.

[celticpiping]

Here's the output:



this is depressing...because I just emptied all shared folders, and network recycle bin.
There are now literally, no files of mine on it.
But it's using 4.4TB somewhere...

[celticpiping]

ok, maybe I solved it..by um, deleting a file based LUN that was 4.4TB

doesn't seem to affect my backup routine..
I admit, I'm a storage noob so I don't even know exactly what I did: but I did at least take screenshots be4 so I could revert if needed..
This was a desperation move purely.
QNAP is now showing 0 used...
here's hopin

[MrVideo]

Ah, I was fooled by your first du output because a standard share, Multimedia, was missing from the list. I never would have thought of the LUN thing, as I do not use them.
