My 800GB storagenode as reported by the dashboard is mostly full with 786GB of data with 1GB free and 12GB trash. My operating system however reports only 748GB used. 
I set my ext4 reserved space to 0% after reading PSA: Set reserved space to 0% on ext4. With over 150GB free, this tempts me to push my storagenode from 800GB to 900GB, even though I’d “only” have a 5GB reserve.
Try using df -H … that’s gonna give you a correct reading to compare with Storj output.
It’s the never ending tale of Gb vs GiB

Yeah, increase it. The official recommendation is 10% free (900GB) but I’d personally set it to 980GB even
Wow thank you @mike. It never occurred to me that Storj was using SI units (multiples of 1000) as opposed to computer science “standard” multiples of 1024.
Both df -H and df --si will use SI units. df(1) - Linux man page

You can specify an allocation in binary units too. However, the Storj’s software uses SI by default.
