Hello,
First let me say - I am very new to freenas. This is my first machine, and I have done very little with it so far.
I have two 3TB disks (mirrored) and its used for Acronis true image making backups from 3 computers on my home network.
Acronis was a little hungry and didn't delete old backups, and now the nas volume is totally full. As a result, i can't delete any of the files on the nas. this is pretty funny imo, and makes me think that zfs might not really be ready for general use.
But, before i jump to conclusions, i need to get myself out of this sticky situation.
i found this thread: http://forums.freenas.org/showthread.php?10246-8-3-Out-of-space-cannot-delete and even thought i didn't really understand everything that's written there, i tried it out myself, but kept getting the "No space left on device" error, when i tired executing the commands mentioned through the shell in the freenas webgui.
So, any help would be very appreciated! first to delete some files, and second to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks!
