Transmission hard drive eating disc space?

[FuKe]

Hello everyone.

I've got a pretty odd problem, I think.
I suddenly got an alarm in the FreeNAS dashboard, telling me that my jail volume was 83% full, but it is recommended to keep it under 80%.

I went to Reporting -> Partition, and saw that my transmission jail was eating almost 400GB of space. The weird thing is, that the download folder in my transmission jail, only takes around 200GB of space, and I can't seem to figure out where the last 300GB are being used in the transmission jail?

Thanks in advance!

Are you snapshotting that jail?

Nope, I am not snapshotting any jails :)

did you setup and incomplete folder? I doubt that would have 600GB worth of files though.

Maybe you set the jail dataset to have copies=2? I don't think this zfs option is exposed to the FreeNAS WebUI though.

I'm not sure what you mean with "setup and incomplete folder"?
I haven't been messing around in anything else that the WebUI, so I copies should'nt be =2 :)

I added a "D" I meant "setup an incomplete folder". If you didn't then you shouldn't need to worry about it.

What do you get when you run the below in the jail?
du -hs /*

zfs get space | more will indicate if any space is being used for snapshots (look for the dataset for your transmission jail). IIRC, jails were being automatically snapshotted for some period of 9.3, but that default was recently fixed in a software update.

This commands returns nothing :)

that one should be outside the jail, unlike the previous command.

 

[dlavigne]

You're running that command from the Shell of the Freenas system?

Aah of course!
Here's the output related to the harddrive I've got my jails on http://pastebin.com/aqkcdNC6

JailDisk/transmission_2 used 415G

Does that seem correct?

 

[FuKe]

Does that seem correct?

Yeah that seems pretty correct, I'm just wondering where the last 200GB are used, when my download folder only takes up around 200GB?

Do you have multiple datasets under your jail disk? Each dataset is it's own section in the filesystem and total space available can be not what you expect.

I haven't done anything to the jail since I installed the transmission plugin - So no, I haven't created any datasets in the jail :)
