Hard drive free space is -9.1G

[librium]

Nas4free displays size of the harddrive as follows. This HD is standalone HD.

101% of 1.8TB
Total: 1.8T | Used: 1.6T | Free: -9.1G

It was -8.2G half an hour ago. Now it is -9.1G. It seems that it is doing something which I can't understand.

Though, the HD is accessible and I can see all the files on it.

I wish not to format this HD since it has valuable data on it.

I have installed 9.1.0.1 - Sandstorm (revision 804).

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Thank you

there is no need to format the HD, the display shows only that the HD is (more than full. Do you have running downloads (Bittorrent, pyLoad, Oowncloud etc) on the server?

Btw, the values "Total" (size of HD) and "Used" (max. size for use which is defined during the format process - here you can decide, how much space will/should be reserved for adminstrative tasks for the filesystem. You can see how this works in the webGUI under the format tab) shows how the HD was prepared during format. In your case the negative value shows that you are using space which should be reserved for the system.

I would recommend to identify who is writing to your HD ...
