Pop_OS shows me the size of the partition incorrectly in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for pointing me into this direction.

When I use an online calculator to convert Gibibytes to Gigabytes, I get this result: 634.8 GiB are 682 GB. So, exactly the size that the Gnome-Disk-Utility shows.

The App Stacer tells me 624.2 GiB. When I convert this into Gigabytes, I get 670.3 GB. This size is also shown in the Pop_OS file manager.

So, in conclusion:

  • fdisk command and Gnome disk utility are showing 634.8 GiB / 682 GB.
  • Stacer and file manager are showing 624.2 GiB / 670.3 GB.

One step closer... Now I just need to figure out why two apps are showing too less storage space compared to the other ones.

Pop_OS shows me the size of the partition incorrectly (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I have increased the size of the partition of my Pop_OS installation (/nvme0n1p4) from 128 GB to 650 GB using Gparted (from the live USB stick). I have set it exactly to 650 GB.

But in Pop_OS I now have the problem that I am shown three different sizes:

  • The command fdisk -l tells me that the partition has a size of 634.8 GB.
  • The app "disks" tells me that the partition has a size of 682 GB.
  • The app "Stacer" tells me the partition has a size of 624.2 GB.

I am now a bit confused and would like to ask you if anyone knows a solution or can at least tell me which indication is correct. I mean, if this indication is wrong, is the information at all correct, how much space of the SSD is already used? I also see different specifications there...

Around the 2000s I hosted a Shoutcast server that played a playlist of about 30 punk rock MP3's on continuous loop. As far as I can remeber, it was running on a Win2000 machine. Yeah - Pirate Radio ๐Ÿ˜†
