Why does "Miscellaneous used space" take up 4TB of my HDD? (zerobytes.monster)

I noticed my backup drive has about double the used space of the data drive. I scanned the drive using Grand Perspective, and it labeled over 4TB as "Miscellaneous used space."

WTF is going on?!

The drive is a 16TB Toshiba NAS N300. Drive health on DriveDx, though I haven't yet run a full test.
