Storage reporting is still shows wrong size about immich HOT 4 OPEN

I think this might be a quirk of ZFS since everything is on a separate dataset. We only look at the library folder to get disk usage info, so in this case the used space is just the size of the library folder. I'm not sure what the best way to fix this would be.

idk this may sound amateurish but just getting size with du and report it to GUI? should work on zfs no ?

One workaround, that worked for me (using geesefs to mount S3 buckets as local storage), is to set a quota limit on your account. Eg. instead of unlimited, use 100 TB for example. This way I can now see the used storage out of the limit.

Using du could deteriorate performance pretty quickly for us (who mount different kinds of storage, especially Object stores such as minio or s3), in my case, it could take hours to traverse the whole tree and get the total size.

I haven't checked how the size is being calculated when a limit is set, and I could be mistaken, but I'm assuming that it's calculated from the meta in Immich rather than from storage as I'm pretty sure it would be much slower to do it accurately from storage in my case.

This is right. Usage is stored in the DB and updated when assets are added or deleted.

I suppose we could change to display the immich library size instead of the disk size. The latter is hard to get right since you can mount different drives for each folder, filesystems can handle usage differently, etc.
