Hi Galaxy Users, I have permanently deleted numerous files. My usage % has decreased, but this is NOT reflected in my Gb report (upper right)- it remains the same.

Hi Mary Anne,

I believe your usage total is now correct, but if this is not the case, please let us know.

Thanks, --nate

Hi Nate, We are getting quite large discrepancies between 'Size on disk' and 'Usage' numbers, so I've run the scripts/set_user_disk_usage.py script. When I run it, some of the 'old usage' numbers are negative numbers, e.g. User1 old usage: -226417886261, new usage: 139894688577 User2 old usage: 263698720473, new usage: 68974834617 User3 old usage: 397108490587, new usage: 406950046043 User4 old usage: -57441684074, new usage: 7536071906

This seems a little strange (how can a user have a 'minus' usage?). Is there an explanation for this?

Cheers, Graham

You aren't the only one having problem in the disk-usage reported in the upper right. I've also had problems with this total disk usage in our local instance of Galaxy

I've deleted all but a handful of files, and we have a cron job that purges the files from disk after a certain number of days. I've deleted everything but one history, and for the last few weeks the size of that history has been reported as about 200GB. I don't have any other histories, or any deleted but not purged datasets. However the total disk usage shown by Galaxy is about 1.5TB

Hi Glen,

There's a script to recalculate if the total becomes off, see scripts/set_user_disk_usage.py. I've found that on the public site, the totals are occasionally off by small amounts, meaning there must be somewhere where data is associated with or disassociated from a user and is not accounted for. I haven't yet found a reproducible way to make the total incorrect, so I haven't found the bug yet. If you happen to notice when this occurs, please let me know. Otherwise, it should be safe to run the usage script via cron to update totals that become incorrect.

Thanks, --nate

Negative numbers here are probably a sign of integer overflow (something too large for a signed 32 bit integer would be my guess).

Possible, although I would guess that set_user_disk_usage.py was never run after the disk accounting was added (harmless, since it can be run at any time). Users who already had a bunch of data then started at '0', deleted a bunch of data, and end up with negative usage.
