mounted samba share saving files to local disk

My Ubuntu computer is reporting that the local disk is full. The computer is primarily used for homeassistant and frigate and I have a Windows file server mounted to Ubuntu to save security camera recordings. I followed the advice in this thread and mounted my filesystem to a temporary mount location. Running du showed that my mount for the cameras is indeed saving to local disk. I deleted all recordings off of the widows file system and they still show up in du like this:

435G    /mnt/test/mnt
435G    /mnt/test/mnt/cameras
435G    /mnt/test/mnt/cameras/recordings
435G    /mnt/test/mnt/cameras/recordings/2023-04
453G    /mnt/test

I am at a loss as to why this is happening and how to fix it. I am a bit of a linux noob so I am not sure if I mounted the share incorrectly or if it is an issue with frigate. Here is what my mount looks like in fstab:

//192.168.1.99/Cameras /mnt/cameras cifs credentials=/home/everett/.smbcred,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

Also here is the section of my docker compose file for firgate where the mount is assigned to frigates recording folder:

 frigate:
container_name: frigate
privileged: true # this may not be necessary for all setups
restart: unless-stopped
image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
shm_size: "600mb" # update for your cameras based on calculation above
devices:
  - /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb # passes the USB Coral, needs to be modified for other versions
  - /dev/dri/card0 # for intel hwaccel, needs to be updated for your hardware
volumes:
  - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
  - /opt/frigate/config/config.yaml:/config/config.yml:ro
  - /mnt/cameras:/media/frigate
  - /opt/frigate/db:/db
  - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
    target: /tmp/cache
    tmpfs:
      size: 1000000000
ports:
  - "5000:5000"
  - "1935:1935" # RTMP feeds

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Your fstab entry looks like it’s trying to mount your server at /mnt/Cameras (Cameras with a capital C). Your docker file wants to use /mnt/cameras. So that’s not the same location. The files on your system are below /mnt/test…. That’s another location. Correct the mount points in fstab and docker. Then If your server is mounted successfully and you want to keep the data below /mnt/test you can move it to the server to release space. After that any new data should be in the right place

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
