Different storage amount shown in GUI and df -h

[enrico223]

Hello everyone,
I set this up a long time ago, so I don't remember what I did exactly.
I have an Ubuntu VM with 152GB assigned to it, however, when I check the available space with "df -h", it only shows that the total size of the disk is 58GB.
How could this be?

Hi,
when you are dealing with advanced block storages, it's always better to use the native commands to check for space usage, e.g. use lvs for LVM. It will show you the provisioned size and the usage when the volume is active (Data% column). local-lvm is a thin-provisioned storage: https://docs.redhat.com/en/document...r_Administration/thinprovisioned_volumes.html

I have an Ubuntu VM with 152GB assigned to it, however, when I check the available space with "df -h", it only shows that the total size of the disk is 58GB.

The 152 G is the virtual disk size, given to the virtual guest.
The 58 GB is the space of one (or more, you didn't show us the output of df) filesystem(s).

Often both are coupled and give similar size - but that is not a must.

Examine the partition table from inside the guest and verify which partitions with which size are formatted with which filesystem type using which parameters...
