My node is still at 116.7, but i’ve noticed that if i keep node on for extended period of time (at least couple of days) actual used space get’s back no norm, or at least close to that.

Yes, that’s correct. It’s updating slowly but it takes a few weeks. After the next restart, it starts again from the beginning.
Take a look at your used_space_per_prefix.db, the modification timestamp hasn’t changed, it remains at the time the database was created. No updates are being made to the DB anymore. There are no SHM or WAL database files.
in my case - it does not start from the beginning, but from where it finished it’s last scanning (if You can call it that way) last time. In general - if You don’t restart server frequently, it’s working fine for me.

Its not a big bug but need to be solved, newbie node operators often restart the service at the very beginning a lot of time and gets confused.
This !!!
My very slowly building storage now only shows 3.7G, but a df --si on the data shows over 120G.
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
I’m seeing conflicting usage numbers in my Storj dashboard. On the left side, “Average Disk Space Used” is around 400 GB (and has stayed about the same for the last couple of days). However, on the right side, the dashboard still reports 161 GB used—even though I’ve clearly transferred more data since yesterday. It hasn’t changed from 161 GB at all (maybe a little bit but nothing compared with the ingress traffic).
Meanwhile, if I check the actual folder via my file system (Finder), it also shows around 400 GB used. So the 400 GB figure seems accurate, yet the node’s “Used” value remains stuck at 161 GB.
Here’s a quick summary:
Dashboard left side: ~400 GB Average Disk Space Used (like the real usage more or less*)
Dashboard right side: 161 GB used (unchanged, even with more transfers)
Finder: ~450 GB physically on disk*
Is this normal behavior—maybe the dashboard hasn’t updated one of the metrics for some reason? Do I just need to wait for a garbage-collection or trash cleanup to finish, or is there something else I can do to get more accurate/consistent reporting in the dashboard?
Thanks in advance for any tips or explanations!
Have you restarted the node recently? Their is a bug where it takes several days for the file-walker to rescan everything. The data is still there and if its requested your good, its just not showing on the dashboard.

Oooh ok thank you! Yes I restarted it 2,5 days ago.
If you read the full topic here you see a temporary solution to fix the worng data in the dashboard.
But when you restart the node again, you have the same Issues again.
So please wait for the Bug fix. There is also al Link to Github…
The Node earning are not be affected.
