Hi,
Waiting for the new update notification, I've taken a look at my storage and I'm doubtful!

My Jolla says I consume 4.6 GB...but I wonder where.

I've Here Maps installed with the full France map which eats 1.3 GB (with Hi-Fi voice). Space Inspector says my home is 1.5 GB which is consistent as home contains the map.

So, where are the remaining 3.3 GB?

Thanks.

Well, check space inspector..........
Whole MER System also uses space...

Yes, I know, but what's why you see only 13,7 GB of storage and not 16, no? So, i assume these 4.6 are eaten from those global 13,7 GB space. Am I wrong?

You are wrong, because 16 GB are 14.901161193848 GiB, difference to 13,7 should be due to other subvolumes and maybe filesystem overhead (but not sure about that as I know too less about BTRFS).

Perfect, thanks a lot, I'm now a bit less stupid :-D

if you take backups, that almost duplicates the occupied space, check ~nemo/.vault although you should avoid manually changing files there.

personally, I have an sd card and periodically move media (music, picture, videos) from the user directory to the sd card.

Not sure that's quite accurate.

Either Jolla are using the JEDEC consortium's nomenclature, in which case 1GB = 1GiB, and therefore we have a difference of 2.3GiB

Or they are using IEC, which means that the the 13.7GB figure quoted would then represent 12.76GiB - so there's a 2.2GiB difference.

In either case we find over 2GiB is being used up by the OS/firmware and is unavailable to users.

You forgot the other subvolumes.

Plus you all forgot that with btrfs there's no objective measure of "free space" nor of "used space". There's space until ENOSPC, and that's it. Full stop.

Ok, but in real English for an average user, what does this mean?
