you can deploy template https://railway.app/template/Nan7Bs in your service and attach it to your volume to see what is using that space

you will have to disconnect the volume from the current service and mount it into the explorer

You dont have to What brody means is that is what the filesystem uses so its normal for it to have some usage even if you only have one file

so if i add 10 more lines it will take more space?
Hys
Hys•4mo ago
Just whatever those 10 lines add to it its not like 10 lines will add 10mb imagine the volume has 49.8gb instead of 50gb

Anubhav
AnubhavOP•4mo ago
good idea i will create another project deploy one empty volume and attach file system to it
Hys
Hys•4mo ago
empty volumes don't compute size until you add something to it IIRC

Nope, that 149MB is the filesystem overhead anything above that is your files
