All three of your volumes are currently attached to their respective services and in a healthy state, so none appear orphaned. Could you let us know which service or project you're concerned about, or what behavior made you think a volume might be orphaned?

Volume: 2.5GB used out of 5GB (50% full)
Current path: /app/data (80MB visible)
Discrepancy: 2.5GB dashboard vs 80MB endpoint = 2.4GB unaccounted for

Hey Samuel,
for me it is the same ...
Volume: ~ 260MB
/app/data (~2MB)
i dont know what the metrics are about to show. But i think its not correct.
Would be nice if the Railway Team could answer on this.

Hey, the ~260MB shown in the metrics is most likely accurate and contains the file system overhead.

What does this mean? Is it reserved space or so? Or files that are not visible? And can i delete the overhead ;). Sorry for my questions dont know the reason for the "overhead"

Basically, your file system will always use some of its available space for metadata (with data structures such inodes), this is required, otherwise you won't be able to know anything regarding your files. You can google or ask your favorite LLM about "operating systems file management" if you want to dive deeper into this topic.

If it's filesystem overhead, why does df inside the container only show 868 KB used instead of 260 MB? Are snapshots/backups taken for volumes that could be retaining old blocks?
