Hi all.
Out of curiosity, I dedicated a 750G partition to do a little test.
The raw partition has 751,165,243,392 byte.
1st, I partitioned it into NTFS, and 751,074,746,368 byte was available.
I then transferred some folders and files into the partition.
Now, Dolphin reported:
288,737,063,048 bytes of files
288,737,067,216 bytes of files with folders
But, Nemo reported:
288,737,063,048 bytes of files
288,737,066,160 bytes of files with folders
So, there is a discrepancy of 1,056 byte between the 2 file managers.
Subsequently, I re-formatted the partition, and made it Ext4 this time.
700,650,766,336 byte was available in Ext4.
Again, I transferred same folders and files into the Ext4 partition.
Now, Dolphin reported:
288,737,063,048 bytes of files
288,737,128,584 bytes of files with folders
But, Nemo reported:
288,737,063,048 bytes of files
288,737,112,200 bytes of files with folders
The discrepancy is now 16,384 byte.
Does anyone have an explanation:
- Why Dolphin and Nemo would report the size of folders (with files) differently, even though within same FS type?
- Why the expected free space (Partition size - folders with files) and actual space reported, also differ? I was expecting the journaling to use the 50GB reserved, and not from the 700GB available.
Any other discussions and thoughts are welcomed!
