Hi,

My Storj node dashboard reports 4.4TB of storage used:

- 3.7TB Other
- 91GB Trash
- 0.5TB Used reclaimable

However, when I check the actual disk folder with `du -sh`, it only shows 4TB. There’s a ~400GB gap. It appears that “used reclaimable” doesn’t actually exist on disk. Is this a bug?

Is this just a base2/base10 thing? Add a `--si` flag to du and you should see the larger value.

yep:

`4.4/1.024/1.024/1.024/1.024 = 4.0`
