    Finally case was resolved,  the root cause of the issue was the orphaned images from  that had PO references in the internal deduplication database to DCID 1, which is not a valid DCID for valid images.  The PoGather script was creating an cleanup script which was not working because DCID 1 was not valid.  So a special cleanup script was created  which cleaned up the orphaned images. Then the remaining piece was to correct the values in the __info__.2 file which resides in /data1/databases/catalog/.  These values are used in calculating the statistics for the crstats command.  After correcting those values, we see the correct information in the storage server properties and the crstats output. Great work of support!

    The case is still open, in fact the pogather script still shows the same orphaned images even if the space on disk was cleared. I will let you know the solution.
