Hi,

I'm using a USB drive for local backups that is mounted as "mount /dev/sdb /mnt/backups". The backups sizes and disk space shows the correct size until i reboot my node and than it counts double? The USB drive is formated as "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb", dont know if this have anything to do with the problem. Is there anything i can do to prevent this behaviour? Thanks in advance

GUI (shows double size for backups and drive)

fdisk -l (show correct size)
Disk /dev/sdb: 30 GiB, 32212254720 bytes, 62914560 sectors
Disk model: Flash Disk
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
