I got an email saying
(A bit confusing because the email is in TB when the quotas are set in TiB or GiB.
1.5 TB = 1.36424 TiB or 1397 GiB;
1.88 TB = 1.71 TiB, which is indeed the quota set on the dataset )
First, I don't know what Refquota is. There is no mention of it in the Guide, and old threads I found it in are not clear.
Second, this is a Time Machine dataset. To avoid filling the dataset completely, I need to find a way for Time Machine to start deleting backups when it gets to some level below full, like say 80% = 1397 GiB. I found in the Sharing options one called Time Machine Quota. Aha! said I - I set it to 1397 GiB, removed the 'disk' from Time Machine and readded it. But Time Machine is still reporting "373 GB of 1.88 TB" available when it has already exceeded its TM quota.
What is Refquota and how is it set?
Why isn't the Time Machine Quota setting working?
How do I keep Time Machine from filling the whole dataset?
Refquota exceeded on dataset Ark/TM-Jim.
Used 80.01% (1.5 TB of 1.88 TB)
