Folder was over 300GB...right/clicked cut it to organize it into my library, went to paste it, nothing happened. Folder didn't paste, folder isn't there or in previous location... But file system still showing the 300GB on the NAS.... somewhere!
Any ideas?
Would hate to lose the data (and the free space!)

You didn't give us much detail to go on here. We don't even know what operating system you are using, neither the FreeNAS version or on the computer connecting to the NAS. Would you please read this:



If you do a cut and paste, depending on the circumstances, it doesn't happen instantly because the data must actually be passed from the NAS to your computer and then back to the NAS in the new location. It may still be working on it.
