Used Space Storage - Counter Not Updating.

[panzerscope]

Hello all,

Quick question. I recently noticed that my storage usage hit 90%, no problem as I had a load of data I needed to get rid of. So I went ahead and deleted approx 2-3TB of data, however the storage usage figure has not decreased and still shows 90%.

I did restart the Scale server to see if it that would resolve it, but still shows 90%.

Has anyone else seen this ?

Still running Anglefish with a view to upgrade to Bluefin next weekend, so maybe that will remedy it, but I never depend on updates magically fixing something. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
P

Did you also delete the snapshots for the Data you've deleted?

So, I have read around on how to do this and I had a command that I use to use for removing the old snapshots but I have misplaced the command. Do you have a reliable way of removing the snapshots in bulk ?

Won't the GUI do that ?

Unless I am missing something, no. You can view the snapshots and delete them, but this can be a tedious operation, especially if you have a fair few. That is why I was looking for a command the allows you to delete all, or a selected value of snapshots for a chosen storage pool.
