Dataset Holding Free Space in User Quota When Empty of Files

[failsafe5000]

Hey Everyone,

This is an issue that has cropped up in the past day (but may have been ongoing unnoticed). I have a TrueNAS server (running Bluefin 22.12.1, though was running 22.12.0 when I noticed this issue) at my work that has quite a few datasets in it, one of them, which is now having this issue, has a lot of users writing to it throughout the day. It's used to drop videos and photos to be sent to a transcoder. In the past once the transcoder deletes the files it picks up, the free space is cleared up. But over the past day the free space has been eaten up even though no files are in the folder. Should note there are no snapshots enabled on this dataset and that this server is setup with Active Directory for share access.

When I go to User Quota, I have to select view all users, and I see this:

Why are these users holding onto the free space? I've checked their computer and they don't have the folder open, and the folder itself is empty.

Hey, just found your thread while browsing through the forums. I think i encountered the same issue as you https://www.truenas.com/community/t...ded-to-free-up-space-of-deleted-files.107780/

You can try to restart the SMB service and see if this solves the issue for you aswell

Did that, and it resolves it for a little bit, but then it starts happening again. Right now I've got almost 30GB of free space being taken by what Truenas is saying is 14 users, but the folder is empty.

I just don't understand why this is just suddenly happening the past couple days, when it was working fine before, and no changes were made to the dataset or SMB share.

Yes it's the same for me, I pretty much restart the SMB daily by now just to make sure.
