Hi all,

Wondering if you can help, I've cleared everything apart from two backups that total 102GB from a 320 GB drive, but PBS said 320GB is used and won't let me do anything.

I've removed a good chunk of backups the other day and read about leaving it 24 hours, it's nearly two days now and the size is not going down.
I tried to wipe the drive under Storage / Disks but get
"
command "wipefs" "--all" "/dev/sdb1" failed - status code: 1 - wipefs: error: /dev/sdb1: probing initialization failed: Device or resource busy
"

I tried to run a Garbage Collect and get
"
2024-10-17T23:18:43+01:00: TASK ERROR: update atime failed for chunk/file "/mnt/datastore/Storage/.chunks/a821/a8215adc845fe6e1d57261ee01e5d934479bd398c771409a5c76733ad702c9b2" - ENOSPC: No space left on device
"
I'm at a loss, I've rebooted the server, checked for updates, but not sure what else I can do?

Seemed I needed to remove everything to run Garbage Collect. It's now running and seems to be clearing out the space.

That did it for me, if anyone else has the same issue. I should have enabled Garbage Collect from the start to run maybe everynight before I started putting backups on, so that would help keep the free space clear.
