Dear proxmox community,

I have a question, I have added a storage disk to my proxmox but the available storage show on administrative web page is different from what I can see from CLI.

For example, with df -h it is indicated "used space 262G", on the web page is shown 280GB.

Is there something that I am missing?

Thank you.
Best Regards.
 
I'd assume that's the difference between Gigabyte and Gibibyte :)

Edit: You can use df -H, then the values should be the same

I have another quick question.

I have got a VM it says that the machine is using 480 GB

df -H ./images/103
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 2.0T 480G 1.4T 26% /mnt/pve/storage-2TB

But, the VM itself it says it using only 315 GB

df -H
File system Dim. Usati Dispon. Uso% Montato su
udev 6,3G 0 6,3G 0% /dev
tmpfs 1,3G 2,7M 1,3G 1% /run
/dev/sda1 1,6T 315G 1,2T 21% /
tmpfs 6,3G 0 6,3G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 5,3M 0 5,3M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 1,3G 0 1,3G 0% /run/user/1000

How it is possible?

Thank you.
