Thank you for this
do i will download MC
I presume I need to install this on the server
mc is pre-installed on TrueNAS
Hello all
First let me thank you for your patience, teachings and most of all for taking time during your weekend to help me
I looked at MC
I see this as a file structure and i see that under /root i have 192.168.1.120 (which is the ip address of my second server) what is it doing here?
If i drill down on this address i get /Tv Shows (which is one of my datasets)
yet /TV Shows is also a folder of /root
Furthermore i do see /mnt and all my pool
IYHO
can i delete there 2 subfolders?
i will need to further learn how to navigate MC to see the disk view
Once again thank you and I hope you all are having a great weekend
Given your lack of familiarity with SSH and MC, it might be easier for you to save the configuration from the WebUI and make a fresh installation.
Why on earth would you recommend this?
No idea. You put it there somehow.
Yes, if you donāt need them. Or move them to wherever they belong on your pool.
If heās not comfortable with the terminal, putting the boot drive into a Windows machine and making a fresh installation after formatting it might be easier for him. Since he doesnāt appear to understand whatās going on inside his boot drive it might be faster for all parties.
Thank you all
I would agree that with my very limited knowledge It will be easier to just trash all this and do a fresh install on both servers.
Since this was all caused by learning snapshots and replication
Do i really need to configure ACLs since it is just me can i ger away with just configuring permissions without acls
Once again thank you all
To be clear: You are fine with permanently deleting the 56 GiB worth of files from the /root/ folder?
Yeah, 56 GB is not a trivial amount of stuff. Iād be weary of nuking it unceremoniously.

Did you try to backup or transfer those datasets to 192.168.1.120 somehow?
Thank you for the heads up
I tried to ssh into truenas and tried to delete the files located in the /root directory. Permission denied.
Therefore have decided to rebuild both servers. The pools on both servers are OK
My plan
1 backup truenas configurations on both server to separate USBs
2 Backup configuration for Home Assistant and proxmox (already done)
3 replace ssd with larger one on proxmox server
4 reconfigure VM disk allocation offering Truenas 250GB
5 Install proxmox on second server and replicate server 1 configurations
5 reinstall and apply what i have learned to both truenas servers
This should create a rock solid home environment (until i screw it up again)
Once again thank you all @Stux. @ericloewe @dan @winnielinnie @Davvo for all your help,time and patience
You likely have to sudo.
Thank you
Hello all
Just to update
Thankfully I found out that my SSD dive itself was not fully utilised, only fully allocated.
As you all may already know in Proxmox 8 one may resize the HD allocation of a VM
but for those who do not know (like myself) this is what i ended up doing
In proxmox
1 stop the vm
2 select hardware
3 select you disk (in my case (SCSI0))
4 select disk action from the to menu
5 select resize
6 insert increment
7 Save
8 restart vm
This only works if space on ssd is available. In my case i did not know that the allocation of the disk size was hard coded,
In fact I found out that the allocation of disk space when creating a VM is only indicating the maximum disk space that the VM can use.
In my case I over allocated disk space to each of the other wms (which that will never use.
Therefore Iām safe i allocating additional disk space to the trunas scale vm.
This is not a permanent solution. It only provides additional time to source the new components and properlan and execute my plan above
I hope that this will help another newbie like myself
Again Thank you all to your help
You should delete the data on the boot pool though, itās not where it belongs.
Yeah. Really, this has been overcomplicated. Once OP determined that the space was used by data that heād put on the boot pool, the answer is simply to move it where it belongs, or (if itās already there, or if the dataās disposable) just delete it. Thatās it. Midnight Commander isnāt hard to use.

Thank you
I played with MC and trough trial and error I manage to delete folder /192.168.1.120 and folder /Tv Shows and al the content.
However i did not learn how to access the content of a specific disk āSDAā
This did free up some space. however i still show 63gb in SD3 which is part of the boot-pool SDA
I do not have the warnings I received before and that is a good thing. This will take the pressure of having to do the rebuild now
Once again thank you all
From the Screenshots I see you have data directly on the boot pool, meaning ./: you have to delete anything that you are sure is a TV show or similar.
You will need to mount SDA3 to a folder to be able to see what it contains using MC.
sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media Should work for you, in Truenas the media folder is normally empty. You might check first though.
No, it wouldnāt. sda3 is part of the boot pool; itās already mounted.
