[SOLVED] Each datastore shows total disk usage with ext4

[pizza]

I have multiple datastores on PBS on a big disk with ext4. Each datastores shows the total disk usage and the free space of the total diskspace instead of his own usage. Can this be solved or must I use zfs?

PBS won't sum up all files to get the datastore size. It will use what the filesystem is reporting.

If you want to know how big each datastore is, you could have a look at the logs of the GC task:

2023-01-20T13:35:31+01:00: Original data usage: 2.939 TiB
2023-01-20T13:35:31+01:00: On-Disk usage: 44.214 GiB (1.47%)

So I got 2939 GB of backups that actually consume 44GB of storage. So that datastore is using 44GB.

Can it work when I use user quota on ext4 for each datastore?
