fedora INCORRECT DISK USAGE

[L4G_NAToR]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Fedora, but I have been working on the AWS-EC2 instance for about 2 years.
I installed Fedora on my machine on a dedicated SSD of 500GB. For some reason, under the `About` section of the `Settings` the disk usage is shown incorrectly.
Can anyone help me with this?
Also, I noticed that the volume is shallow when compared to my Windows machine.

If any further information is required do let me know. 

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

Please post a screenshot next time, pictures of screens are hard to read.

 

In what way is the display "incorrect"?

Not sure what you mean by this

Your encrypted LUKS partition resides on Btrfs formated partition?

 

But try some console utilities:

- 'lsblk' on my external SSD drive shows:

Run this in the terminal

 

sudo btrf filesystem usage /

 

This will have your filesystem tell you how much space you have in detail.

Ubuntu adds up total storage from all drives, not just your main drive.

 

The volume issue might be software on Windows making the audio sound better, or just a Windows audio setting doing something weird.

You mean the Disk Capacity? That's not how much is used, but how much is available in total, across all drives, even if it isn't usable.

 

E.g. mine shows a disk capacity of 4.5 TB, which is the sum total of four drives (2 TB + 2x 1 TB + 512 GB), even though some of that isn't directly available to Linux (e.g. formatted to NTFS and used by Windows).
