Asustor Not Freeing Up Space

[louis077]

Hello,

I'm having an odd problem that my NAS doesn't register the new free space when I delete old files. I don't have network recycle enabled and already tried to empty it. The "Other" storage is at 260GB, which I believe to be the culprit. When I delete large files the "Other" storage partition grows. I can't seem to find out where they are going.



From the du -shc * command under volume 1:

I saw a previous post here that showed someone having a similar problem but I wasn't able to find a snapshot folder on my device.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Oddly enough, I just logged back in this morning and now it's showing 450GB free. Wondering why its updated now and it wasn't a few days ago. Maybe the disks have to rescan? I have them in a RAID 1.

What file system are you using?
If it's ext4 then there won't be any snapshots.

I have the same problem

u need linux ( i use live-iso manjaro xfce) sorry my english bad
I myself suffered with this problem
turn off the NAS, remove the disk. connect your disk to the PC. boot into linux. use mdadm
fdisk -l to see name yourdevraid
mdadm --assembly --run /dev/newnamedev /dev/yourdevraid

mount -o subvolid=0 /dev/newnamedev /mnt
btrfs subvolume list /mnt to see name
btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/name snapshot

use gparted for the fsck volume

, it is of great importance to search from the PC and join the NAS
, of course, if there was a raid, insert the updated disk, and which you did not extract, write a couple of files, and insert a second disk for auto rebild
