Cannot copy anything into my SMB share

TrueNAS General
1

I am afraid this might be a big one, so i am sorry in advance for that.

I am new here, don’t understand that much about true NAS but i have been getting the help of AI , especially to run commands.

i cannot copy files from my windows to my smb share. windows starts copying just fine and then tells me i need permission to copy , when it is at 99%.

I have full control on all users and groups
I have set the dataset management space to skyrocket values (cannot put 0 anymore) but it still says 97% written on my children (the one i am writing on).
Last time this happened, chatgpt ran out of ideas and told me to resilver my whole dataset. that took hours but it got done. problem disappeared. and now it is back

bear in mind i have 6TB free still.

my understanding of this is that , since i have 1 pool but 3 vdevs, it is full on 1 dved, the one it is writing the most and it just wont use the others to keep writing. each dved has its own dataset management of sorts. I cant really explain it .
I am running on mirror vdevs (AKA raid 1)

Also, i dont know if it is pertinent , but when i tried to run -get quota command on shell, it didnt recognise it .

I also try to copy it through shell itself but it only copied the subtitles and not the .mp4 files

Running windows 11 and true nas scale 25.04.1 on my server

PS: i can create files , as big as possible through shell. It created them without a problem, so space really isnt a concern. it only goes bad when copying them

Be very careful. If you do not understand what the command is doing, you probably should not be using it. AI is okay, until it isn’t.

It sounds like you have quite a few things to sort out.

  1. What kind of pool / vdev configuration do you really have. From the Shell / SSH window if using something like Putty, enter zpool status -v and using the </> icon above when entering another posting, post the results. We need the results in the same format where all the spacing remains intact.
  2. And the output of lsblk.
  3. And the output of zfs list.

This is a start.

i tried to actually post thos here the first time but i couldnt because i am a new member. but i caputed the screen of the shell.

i know some commands, like AI tells me what they mean and most of them are just logic, once it tells me how to assemble them.

oh and i deleted an old snapshot and now i have 100% written.

Did you use this reference to delete your snapshots?

Also the output of zpool list please. This will help out as well.

I would start by searching Google or your favorite search engine for something like “truenas delete snapshots not recover space” or similar. You are not the first person to have an issue like this. Snapshots could still be referencing data you may have deleted, thus the file will remain on the system until no snapshot references the deleted file.
