delete files, available space doesn't update ?

[ninjaneer68]

When does the space in the GUI update when deleting files ? I have deleted a lot of files and trying to figure out what updates the available / used space.

I am working on reducing size, backuping files and redesigning, rebuilding the whole freenas server to fix everything when I first built it.

When the scrub completes, is that when it happens ?

I am not using snapshots, here is how things look for me now.

This hasn't change sizes in some time the used 6.90TB

Code:

NAME     AVAIL   USED  USEDSNAP  USEDDS  USEDREFRESERV  USEDCHILD
Storage  6.90T  8.71T         0    546G              0      8.18T

Code:

[root@freenas] ~# zfs list -t snapshot -o space

When does the space in the GUI update when deleting files ?

OS-FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (561f0d7a1)
USB device that FreeNAS is installed on
X 2 PNY USB 3.0 FD PMAP

Your hardware details are fantastic. Thanks for that. You might want to consider moving to a newer version of the OS. I don't think the current 11.2 is ready for reliable service because too many bugs are still popping up, but I have been well satisfied with 11.1-U7 and I am using it both on my home system and on the systems I manage at work. If you have some older jails like the Virtual Box, I can understand not upgrading. That said...

I am not aware of any thing that would prevent the UI from updating the used space. Have you looked at the output of df -h it might show you were the space is being consumed. There was a time, several years ago, when I was exporting a recycle bin on my share such that when I deleted files, they were not actually deleted but moved into a hidden folder, so the space was still being consumed. This could be the answer on your system.

You read my mind, I spend the entire day working on backing things up and upgrading. I just finished the upgrade to 11.2.

My main use case is for storage and running plex......if you think I should, I can re-image it and put 11.1-U7 on it ?

I just finished the upgrade to 11.2.

There are some issues that keep showing up with 11.2 because of the full rewrite of the UI. I like 11.1-U7 because it is stable but it depends on your desire for latest version vs reliable service. As long as it is doing the things you need, it is good enough.
