Today I just noticed that the summary section of Datacenter says I am using 10.2 TB of 15 TB ...

How can this be, when the total phusical storageis abt 6T ??? (4 spinning HD's )

When I goto the proxmox node, and look at Disks, all 4 are listed, with the correct capacities ...

I do have links to some storage not on the box ( a 4TB SAMBA box used - and another samba share (1 TB) -- I cannot account for the missing 'storage' ) ...

Is there any way to get a detailed accounting from Proxmox as to what and where the storage is ? Would like to account for the mystery Terabytes.

THX,
 
you have probably multiple storage entries that point to the same underlying storage
you can control which storages count in the dashboard in the 'browser settings' in 'my settings' in the upper right corner (should be under the username menu)
