Hello, I have installed PROXMOX VE 8.3 and PROXMOX BACKUP SERVER 3.3.
I have connected a NAS as datastore which has 5TB free space.
But when I see the panel of datastore Summary it shows Usage 12% of 213 GB
That is not true. See attached file.
So I am wondering if there is a graphical bug or I have configured something wrong ?

Hi,
did you co-install Proxmox VE and Proxmox Backup Server. Note that this is not recommended as you might run into issues during version upgrades. Also, there is no fault tolerance, as if your PVE host is down, also the backups are not accessible.
Regarding your issue: It seems you did not setup the datastores backing path correctly. In the screenshot it shows /volume2/prxpve00 as backing path, while you mounted your share under /mnt/pve/NASBKPVE00. So your datastore is actually located on the root filesystem.
