    Thank you very much for your reply.


    You don't show a screenshot, so I am uncertain to which part of the process of creating a storage space you are referring. I pointed you to the tutorials. I now provide you with a screenshot of part of one of them, which shows a warning which might be what you are referring to.

    Your question about double storage / redundancy appears to relate to the normal operation of storage spaces once configured, so seems obscure.

    My impression is that few here have used storage spaces.

    Storage Spaces capacity error

    Hi, Thanks for your response.

    But this does not explain why 'storage spaces' says my pool is full and 'My PC' says i have 7.5 tb of space available?

    'My PC' IS correct, 'storage spaces is incorrect. But 'storage spaces' will not let me add any new files/data.

    I did run Disk cleanup like you suggested but there were no files to clean in the 'storage spaces' pool.

    The pool is only used to store media files. Not OS.

    Please help x
