Description

When I moved files from a volume to a dataset the reporting page "disk space" no longer shows the actual size of the pool and no longer shows how much of the pool is used. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/846/dfzfsarray1w.png/

I had to reboot my machine before the data came up, after first install, despite the fact that the df files appeared to be properly created.

I see graphs and data in the reporting section. Its just that the information is either wrong or not useful.

Just in case I have not been clear. The problem with the drivespace reporting is that once I moved the the files from \ZFSarray\ Volume to the \ZFSarray\Video\ dataset drive space no longer tells me :
1.How big my Pool is.
2.How much drive space is used.

It only tells me what is left.

adding a new screen shot

looking at this screen shot ask yourself - how big is the pool?

  • Priority changed from major to minor

The problem (I asked jpaetzel the same question on Friday) is that ZFS does a poor job at reporting free/used space in a consistent manner. In particular it would be nice if:

  1. The pool space used noted the actual used/free space per the pool.
  2. The dataset/ZFS volume space used noted the relative used/free space per the dataset/ZFS volume.

Fixing this requires fixing ZFS, which may or may not be trivial.

This might be of help.
this is sort of what I would like to see.
Hopefully I did the math right.

mcavity: agreed. We're working on something like a pie chart (potentially) for the next release (i.e. post 8.0.1).
