hi folks ...

... i've added a new HD (2 TB) to the server.
It's just one primary partition with 2 TB, filesystem ext3
It's mounted to /storage

Then added a new storage, type "Directory" to proxmox ...
Then I had a view to the status-page and getting wondered!

about 90GB used ?!?!?!

by what ???

Code:
df -h /storage
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1      1.8T  196M  1.7T   1% /storage

!!! SOLVED !!!

I forgot the 5% super user blocks while creating the file-system ;)
df didn't show them ...
proxmox does ;)

u can try this out by manually decrease the super user blocks to f.e. 3% with
tune2fs -m 3 /dev/sdb1
tune2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
Setting reserved blocks percentage to 3% (14649454 blocks)

after that proxmox shows only 56GB used ;)
