i have two identical pools, one for data, one for replication
initially i turned on the recycle function, but then found out i didnt need it due to snapshots; turned it off, and deleted all the recycle bins (i think, maybe there are remnants i missed due to misunderstanding how this works)
have a ton of snapshots, doesnt seem out of line with what i see recommended (5 minutes kept for a few days, weekly kept for months)
but now the available space is down to 3TB, 91% used, but only 25% used of the replicated pool.
i would have thought all those snapshots would be replicated as well, but im new to freenas and dont really understand everything as well as i should.
any thoughts on where to start looking for the issue? i guarantee im not using that much space for data; the replicated one seems about right at 25%. there are a couple extra things im backing up to the main pool, but not another 32TB
thanks for any guidance on this. at 91% the array is stalling now and then and isnt happy. i do know that freenas wants more freespace to work correctly
