Docker drive size vs. actual media drive

I'm confused about the (perceived) storage in a Docker container. See this screen clip from Radarr, which was installed from YAMS docker compose on macos: https://imgur.com/q9UpvFC

The media server drive itself has 14tb or so of free space, but according to that screenshot above, the media folder within the docker container has much less space, and it gets less with every download I make. Should I be seeing around 14tb in that listing from Radarr, or is that amount of space to be expeced?

Hey @mothravsmechabilbo!

You should be seeing the full 14TB, so you might have configured something wrong. Make sure your mountpoint is correct in the docker-compose file.

Cheers!

Roger.

This is what I have for Radarr:

Code: Select all

  
radarr: image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr container_name: radarr environment: - PUID=${PUID} - PGID=${PGID} volumes: - ${MEDIA_DIRECTORY}/movies:/movies - ${MEDIA_DIRECTORY}/downloads:/downloads - ${INSTALL_DIRECTORY}/config/radarr:/config

And the env variable for my media directory is /Volumes/mediaraid/srv/media, which makes this:

Code: Select all

    
volumes: - /Volumes/mediaraid/srv/media/movies:/movies

Is there anything incorrect about that? It's downloading the movies into the correct place, just not indicating the right size of the drive. Could it be the fact that it's an external drive on macos? I can't think of anything else that would be an issue.

Everything looks fine. If the files are being downloaded in the correct place that should be enough. This might be a problem with MacOS but I wouldn't give it much thought.
