Does FileBot release source directory usage upon move immediately?

[hansooloo]

Using `--action move -script fn:amc` on a large Movies folder, where the source directories are renamed and moved.

However, as I watch the script run (around 300 movies), I see that my server is starting to run out of space. The source directory's mount point does not come down in usage.

Wondering if there is some sort of cache that is not being flushed somewhere.

1.
Disk space or Memory space? I have no idea what "directory usage" might mean in this case. Suffice to say, no application cache will ever grow large enough to impact disk space in any meaningful or noticeable way.


2.
What is the complete command you're executing? What does the log say?

Sorry for the false alarm ... turns out this was related to my use of the ZFS file system on my FreeNAS box. When I cleaned out some old snapshots, the free space was returned.

That would explain why things are still there after being moved.
