I ran out of space on a pool, and decided to remove the File protection > pool duplication and performance > real-time duplication options.
The Drivepool dashboard seems to be stuck in "Measuring". It displayed Duplicated/Unduplicated/Other storage figures ("duplicated" changed from 4TB down to 20GB, then went back up to 4TB again, then "Other" went down, "Unduplicated" went up), but doesn't seem to have freed up any space.
There are 3x 2TB and 1 x 3 TB drives in the pool.
Could you please explain the expected behaviour of the software when folder duplication is removed, because what the GUI displays makes no sense at all!
Edit: 15 hours later, and after some manually deleting some files from the pool I have SOME free space.
But all the duplication options are OFF, and yet 95% of the pool size appears to be still duplicated. How do I get free space back?
