File manager reporting arbitrary free size?

Hello. Under Advanced > File Manager it shows all items listed under the root directory, and it also says (Free: 7.62MB). Where is it calculating that 7.62MB from? I have 8 900GB disks in raidz2 and my current usage is:
Pool1
0% of 7.25TB
Total: 7.25T | Used: 913K | Free: 5.34T | State: ONLINE
I only have a few text files in a cifs share.
Just confused on what that 7.62MB is from. Please advise. Thanks.

perhaps this recent post can help you:
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=6193
and remember to share two level under /mnt to repot good size, if you look free space for /mnt/yourpool system answer the free space on system "/" not in your mount, so you need to share something like /mnt/yourpool/Video, and look for free space of Video.

Thank you but that thread doesnt help me. I'm taking about the size that shows up under File Manager. When I go to Diagnostics > Information > Space used, it shows that /dev/md0 is 7.6M. What is /dev/md0?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/md0 223M 216M 7.6M 97% /
devfs 1.0k 1.0k 0B 100% /dev
/dev/da0a 117M 112M 5M 96% /cf
procfs 4.0k 4.0k 0B 100% /proc
Pool1 5.3T 74k 5.3T 0% /mnt/Pool1
Pool1/Archive 5.3T 62k 5.3T 0% /mnt/Pool1/Archive
Pool1/Media 5.3T 62k 5.3T 0% /mnt/Pool1/Media
Pool1/Netvault 5.3T 206k 5.3T 0% /mnt/Pool1/Netvault
Pool1/iSCSI 5.3T 62k 5.3T 0% /mnt/Pool1/iSCSI
/dev/md1 61M 6.7M 53M 11% /var

md0 is your embeded install, that is uncompress to RAM. mdx=Memory Disk x =
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=md&sektion=4
7.2MB free , is the space left (free) on this embeded install.
If you need more space free on your "/" you need to do a full install, and define how much space do you want to use to install N4F.
PD clarification: when you use embeded install of nas4Free, you copy a precompiled OS (223MB in size) and copy on your destination boot device, if your boot device is for example a 8GB USB key, only 223MB are used , and the rest is wasted and no usable, if you need to use 7,8GB ( the rest of your USB key) to store something, you need to do a full install, not a embeded instal, and mount the second partition of USBkey to use it.
