January 19, 20224 yr Hi. Might seem like a daft question but i am running 4TB HDD and it says i've used 2.46tb but when you look at it through QDirStat i've used 2.2tb. is there any reason why one says one thing and the other says something else? I've added pictures to show.
January 19, 20224 yr Community Expert In addition to TB vs TiB, there is also filesystem overhead, which is accounted for in the Unraid screenshot, but since it isn't part of the actual folder/file space, isn't included QDirStat.

That's possibly what it is then. Didn't think the file system overhead should need nearly 200gb

I have 6 and 14TB drive almost empty and they sit at 43 and 99GB respectively. Probably a bit of FS and some units difference.

Not necessarily: https://github.com/shundhammer/qdirstat/blob/master/README.md Quote All size units are 1024-based, i.e. 1 kB = 1024 Bytes; 1 MB = 1024 kB; 1 GB = 1024 MB.
