Docker DVR Storage Display Question

I setup a 2nd DVR in docker on my Beelink U59 running Ubuntu. I have the storage setup on my NAS where I created a share with a 1TB Limit. I'm guessing that Channels doesn't see this limitation at all because its showing the full Volume space available.

Is there a way for me to display in Channels that there is only 1 TB available or would I have to create a new volume on my NAS to separate it out?

What you set is a quota, controlled by the NAS, the full storage is still available to software. There’s no way for other software to know what the quota is.

Given that a lot of people use NAS for their storage…would it be a decent feature request for us to be able to control how much storage each DVR server could use so that it displays properly?

You can request it, but that is something that Channels has no control over. Quotas are handled by the OS, not the software.

If this is a feature you want, you need to request that your NAS provider updates their Docker storage driver to include system-level quotas.

Why could Channels not control a quota through software…leaving the total amount of storage available out of it?

I feel that that is something that is programmatically possible through software. If I’m incorrect, please let me know.

You are correct.

Hopefully this gives enough context for the type of feature I’m looking for.
