Please help me understand my used space
Hi, I have 2 2TB drives in the system. If I do `du -s /data` I get the used space as 154277424272. If I do a `df` I get used space as 1731570392. The difference is almost 200GB! Where does it go...
All that is fair and fine. I just want to understand what is using up 200GB of disk space, because NAS says I am using 1.54TB, on the other hand du says I am using 1.37TB which matches exactly what I see through windows when calculating /data /apps and /home. Sooo, I'm missing 0,17 TB, and I can accept that it's being used by system, metadata or anything else, I just want to see that number reported by any tool. So far, metadata seems to be 0,002TB. I went through all the folders found in root, eg /var /usr /etc and so on, and all these do not even take 1GB. So that's still almost 200GB missing somewhere!
