December 18, 20241 yr Hi, can anyone explain to me why on my single 3TB drive 80GB are used when all the files on the drive only add up to around 24GB. I understand that there is xfs overhead and I read somewhere it is ~7GB for each TB. That leaves me with an unexplained 34GB. Or is it more than 7GB?
