Hey all, So I'm having a kind of weird issue. I've got a number of drives combined via Stablebit and have been running a tool called MKV Optimizer to strip away extra audio tracks that aren't needed.

If I go and look at a specific file I can see the size reduce, however, for some reason the overall free space doesn't seem to be updating. I let it run overnight and the drive actually LOST a small amount of free space, when it should have freed up what would have been hundreds of Gigabytes.

It just doesn't seem to be accounting for the filesize changing.

I'm not 100% sure this is related to Stablebit but it seems like the most likely culprit to me.

Anyone know of a fix for this?
