ok ta. I can't see the pool or dataset name as you've cropped it but the one with the 6.8TB used is the one you want to focus on. you're snapshot schedule doesn't last long (1 week) so Im not convinced it is snaps causing your problem. You could do with running the command below on that dataset to see how much snaps are consuming.

zfs get usedbysnapshots pool1/dataset1

If I need to run that from the shell, I already tried and had the same result as the zfs list

Can you visit the box and run it from there? You could just delete the oldest snapshots but like I said Im not convinced this is what is consuming your space. It may just be full.

Just noticed it looks like your pool is called Storage so it would be:

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/dataset1

dataset1 being replaced with the name of the 6.8TB dataset

looks like it's finally working in the shell. I ran that command and what would you like to see? Where in the list is it located?

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

just enter the below:

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/dataset1

dataset1 being the name of your 6.8TB dataset as I couldn't see the name in your screenshot

then let me see the output

I can't read that and looks wrong. send me the output of:

zfs list

please

ok ta. I can see lots of datasets but none that are massively large. Can you identify the larger one i.e. consuming TBs and send me a screen shot?

Where do I need to look for that? In the shell or just on the page itself?

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

either. If you could send me a whole print screen of your storage page in the UI it would make it much easier

Ok ta. So the biggest dataset by far is Backup_Storage/WindowsBackup

So try this command:

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/WindowsBackup

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

I can't tell if there is a space between Windows and Backup so you might need to change the path slightly depending

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

If it doesn't like it use this:

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/Windows\ Backup

 

[Ryan Zimmerman]

If it doesn't like it use this:

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/Windows\ Backup

For some reason it will not let me hit Enter....not sure why

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

I took a while last time didn't it to get the command working. Its probably very unhappy at being 96% full :(

Would it help if I reboot the FreeNas?

I was finally able to get that command in and hit enter, but it says the data set does not exist

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

ok which one did you use?

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/WindowsBackup

or

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/Windows\ Backup

 

[Johnny Fartpants]

just realised its actually this:

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/WindowsBackup

or

zfs get usedbysnapshots Storage/Backup_Storage/Windows\ Backup
