the scan may start a few hours later (to do not overload the node):

it’s reported as `used-space-filewalker`, see logs from my node above.

> PS C:\Users\Admin\> sls “used-space-filewalker” “C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\storagenode.log” | sls “started”

please try this one:

```auto
(sls "used-space-filewalker" "C:\Program Files\Storj\Storage Node\storagenode.log" | sls "started").line | select -last 20

```

and post results between two lines with three backticks, like this:

````auto
```
2024-05-09T13:12:37+01:00 INFO lazyfilewalker.used-space-filewalker subprocess started {“satelliteID”: “1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE”}
```

````

it will be rendered like this

```auto
2024-05-09T13:12:37+01:00 INFO lazyfilewalker.used-space-filewalker subprocess started {“satelliteID”: “1wFTAgs9DP5RSnCqKV1eLf6N9wtk4EAtmN5DpSxcs8EjT69tGE”}

```
