HDD > Showing incorrect storage information > storage amount remaining >
by Noob-Tech-Ninja from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6D6NF)
Hi there guys.
I was hoping that you could help me out with a strange issue that I've just
discovered.
Background / History:
I have an external HDD drive (a WD 4 TB unit)
I have recently, deleted all partitions on it, created 1 partition,
reformatted it as ext4 then transferred about 700 GB of data onto the HDD
Issue:
The external HDD now appears to be showing the incorrect amount of available
storgate left.
1. Using Dolphin
WD-HDD: (total) available size = 1.6 TiB
WD-HDD: spaced used = 621.4 GiB
2. Using Kparted =
WD-HDD: (total) available size = 3.64 TiB
WD-HDD: spaced used = 621.75 GiB
Which I would consider to be correct
3. Using the CLI =
Code:/dev/sdd1 1.7T 622G 945G 40% /media/(my username)/wd_backup_023.1. Here it is again, in a bit more of an easier to read format
Code:/dev/sdd1
[size] 1.7T
[used] 622G
[available] 945G
[used] 40%Which (again) I would definitely consider to be incorrect.
Questions:
1. Why would the system be showing this disparity / incorrect usage on Dolphin,
but correctly using Kparted ?
2. How can I rectify this ?
TIA for any help or advice
