Free Space left in Temp Folder

[beiseman]

I've noticed that the Free Space reported available in the Temp Folder is actually a lot less than what is actually available. As a result, SAB pauses downloads even though there is quite a bit of space left in the actual folder (when viewed via the OS).

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does SAB reserve a certain amount of space and subtract that amount from the "Free Space" view at the top of the Queue?

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Yes, probably.

Check question: do you have more than 1 drive and/or partition? I guess Yes

Yes, I definitely have more than one drive. But I'm positive that I'm looking at the correct locations, if that's what you mean.

In SABnzbd settings, I have the Temporary Download Folder set to a folder on an SSD I use exclusively for downloads. That location is /Volumes/NZB Downloads/SABnzbd Incoming.

At this moment, SAB is showing that location to have 26.3 GB free (and it is showing red in the interface). However when I look in the OS, it has 79.33GB free.

I'm not sure what else I could be doing wrong here, I know it is the correct location as set in the settings, because that is where the downloaded files are appearing when I start a download.

In SABnzbd settings, I have the Temporary Download Folder set to a folder on an SSD I use exclusively for downloads. That location is /Volumes/NZB Downloads/SABnzbd Incoming.

At this moment, SAB is showing that location to have 26.3 GB free (and it is showing red in the interface). However when I look in the OS, it has 79.33GB free.

Code: Select all

So that command says:

/Volumes/NZB Downloads:
Size 111Gi
Avail 18Gi

... but you said "it has 79.33GB free."

Can you explain why you say that?

[beiseman]

Somehow the values are being shown differently in the terminal than are being shown in the UI.

When I look at the same folder from the macOS Finder UI, it is showing 71GB free (I'm currently downloading, so those numbers are changing slightly). However when I look at it over the network from another computer, the same folder is showing 19.8GB free.

Something odd is definitely going on ... I will have to do some more research, I can't understand why one computer would be showing much more free space than another one.

[sander]

There is an OSX bug with big NAS drives. But that is not the case here, right?

[beiseman]

No, this is a local drive in the computer.

I do have a big NAS drive which this computer is connected to, but that drive is not the drive in question.

Also, I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but the drive is formatted as APFS.
