When looking up the Free Space on my IS vs1, I noticed something I did not notice before.

In the Share section, the Total Size and Free Size numbers are shown.
But they are the same, so what's the use.

I would like to see how big a share is, how much data/files it has, and so on.....

But hey it's just my 2 cents.... ;)

Hi Johan72,

Like all shares are saved in a same device, it is normal that the free space is identical for all shares.

But it would be possible to display the space used instead of the total size.
The shell command du-h-d 0 / share/1000/sharexxxx allows to get this output.

Unfortunately, with large shares, several minutes (and many) are necessary for the command. (try it in PUTTY)

So, If we were using it then there is great risk that the menu is frozen for several minutes. :crazy

Maybe it would be possible to use some ajax script or even just an iframe area on the size information which would allow the menu not to be frozen.

Hi firwareslut,

Good suggestion because already what is done. :thumbup

To avoid a long time to load the page, the information (total size and free size) are already recovering from a specific AJAX request. (Just after loading, you can see first the word "wait ..." in the table!).

The question is to know if the user wants to wait 2 or 3 minutes (or more) to see this information :mrgreen:

---edit---
An intermediate solution could be:
displayed in a popup the size of a share when the user click on its name. To him not to click on the large shares ...

Well, as always lots of roads to rome, just pick the right one. :dontknow

I myself would expect a native support for this kind of stats, have seen other NAS devices having this kind of stats (numbers / bar graphs/ pie charts) being created with a single mouse click.
Guess they use some kind of an statistics table index., or so.... just thinking loud.....

Whatever you guys choose, I will live with it, it's not that big a thing for me.
But showing all the same numbers over and over seems a bit useless to me.... anyway, that's just me :dry

Keep up the good work
Johan

agree that listing the same numbers doesn't make much sense, but they are still there as we had plans to add a feature to define more then 1 volume. But that needs more time for implementation
