Storage Sizes Not Consistent

Description

Yesterday, I redid my Media folder as I was having issues with Plex. I renamed the old media folder to tmp and created a new Media child dataset of my main dataset. When moving files between these two folders, they completely recopied as opposed to moving instantly as one would expect.

The problem is, whatever happened with that copy, I lost that amount of space (2 TB) even though, I only see 1 copy of those files present.

Please see the attached images that show TrueNAS reporting 90% storage used (~3.6), whereas I am using nowhere near that.

Thank you for the feedback.

Sizes from Windows side will differ because space accounting on ZFS is complicated.

, everything seems to be functional. My only question remaining is, why is the SMB share on Windows reporting as “2.52 TB free of 2.96 TB”. According to TrueNAS I have used “2.63 and have 2.52 free”. This should mean I have a total capacity of 5.1TB. But Windows no longer shows this total amount. Why is that?

, after deleting the 1st hundred, I've gained 30% of my disk space, so that must be it. If after deleting some more, I still see some of the issues persisting, I will let you know. Thank you
