Storage Usage displayed incorrectly

[georgbachmann]

I noticed that there is some discrepancy between what my system has as free storage and what frigate thinks it has.
To be fair, I did erase my disk yesterday (had some other issue with proxmox where everything is running) and recreated the discs as well as the mountpoint in my docker-container. But it should now have 1.8TB of space available and I currently use about 100-ish GB of that. So this is what my docker-container says about it, and that's correct

root@dockerwolke:~# df -h
Filesystem                        Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
datenwolke/subvol-100-disk-0      1.8T  102G  1.7T   6% /mnt/datenwolke

When i go to frigate then into settings -> system-metrics I see strange values that I don't know where they come from:

So my cameras don't actually use that much space. Is there a way to tell frigate to re-calculate that? Or is there anything else I should do?

Cheers, Georg

Frigate shows what it has in its database, you'll need to delete the database to reset this since there's such a discrepancy

[georgbachmann]

ah ok... thanks, that did the trick... now it's actually showing too little, as it now started at 0, but it's much closer than it was before :-D
will it auto-correct once it's starting to delete old files?

[NickM-27]

If the DB is deleted then it doesn't know about any old files

[georgbachmann]

ok, but is it bad if there is a difference? or does it not matter? like when the disk starts getting full... will this be a problem if it thinks there is more space available?

[NickM-27]

No because the available space check doesn't use this number. Either way you'd likely just want to delete the recording files too

ok ok... thank you very much for your help!
