Hello Guys,

I'm new to linux family and just wanted to understand how come linux translated the percent value to this percentage if the right computation is based on used space (below is the sample computation below). By using command df-lH, it shows different usage percentage.

example: <used space>/<actual disk size>*100 --> to get the actual percentage

Thank you gurus.
 


Welcome to the Linux Org forums

We are a voluntary organisation our members are scattered across the four corners of the world and every time zone, so please accept that you may not get a quick answer.

Just a few things to remember
We are an international board so we ask that all post be in English [if you think your English is not very good , fine give it a try or use one of the translator programs [ DeepL Translate: The world's most accurate translator is recommended]
When asking for help
Please state the make and model number of your machine or its specification [some problems may be equipment specific]
Please tell us which distribution and build number you are having problems with [example Ubuntu 18.1]
Explain what your problem is and what [if anything] you have tried to remedy it yourself

Finally Linux is not Windows, It will require the newcomer to invest a little time and effort going through a learning curve so please don’t give up, kick off your shoes, grab a drink and enjoy the ride.
