DrivePool shows the amount of files that are using data on the drive, basically. CloudDrive shows the data, not files that is used. Deleted files or files that have had their data moved will leave data behind and increase the used size on CloudDrive.
So this is normal, and okay.
However, the solution for this would be to zero out the unused data. But ... especially in your case, Im not sure if that's worth it.
Is there a way of zeroing out the unused data via any of the stablebit suite?

I am needing to clear up the space so I can remove a disk on the network drive due to scanner warning of errors.
But all this has done is max out all the other drives and not emptied the disk identified by scanner. -
DrivePool is stating it is using 14.7TB of 20.0TB, however CloudDrive is stating it is using 19TB of 20TB.
Is there a way of releasing the unused space on the cloud drive?
It is a network share.
If I open the CloudDrive everything is inside the covefs folder.

For a more specific and relevant example, say you had drives A, B and C on one computer and drives D, E and F on a second computer. You could create a pool G of the first computer's disks, a pool H of the second computer's disks, and a cloud I formed from G and H. Then you'd be able to move your files into the cloud I while independently controlling duplication on each of the two computers by adjusting G or H appropriately.
This is exactly what I was hoping to get confirmed, thank you

I currently have 2 storage servers with drivepool running on both, with cloudrive connecting the servers.
This is set up as a drivepool on one server shared over the network which cloud drive on the other server grabs, this cloud drive is then added into the drivepool on the main server with its drives.
However I dont have any file duplication and this is what I would like to change.
If I just turn on file duplication on the main server this will duplicate over the local drives and the cloud drive, however this does not protect against a drive failure on the remote server.
If I turn on file duplication on the remote server as well then this is going to use more storage for each file then I am willing to accept at the moment.
Could I have a sub pool on the main server which includes just the local drives which has file duplication on. Also having file duplication on the remote server. With a high level pool linking the cloud drive and the local drivepool which does not have file duplication?
Cloud drive saying 19TB used, drivepool usage not aligning

I was able to get another drive into the machine with the failing drive and remove the failing drive.
It was then possible to resize the cloud drive down which reduced the usage on the second DrivePool.
Thank you Christopher.
Will be changing how I size my cloud drive from now on to mitigate the issue of this happening in the future.
