I am experimenting with custom installs of MATE on Debian 10.7 .
My goal is to minimize its footprint on disk, and reduce menu clutter.
I have a default install with / on sda1.
The custom install has / on sda2.
Both installs use /sda3 for /home.
When running gparted from the first, it reports
sda1 used space is 3.85 GB
sda2 used space is 2.25 GB
When running gparted from the second, it reports
sda1 used space is 4.77 GB
sda2 used space is 1.80 GB
Why?
TIA ;}
Based on the limited information available my best guess is that you are
looking at different disk drives as the device names can change between
boots.
No. The laptop has only a single hard disk.
Also, the two installations were performed from the same USB flash
drive. Both installs were configured to allow booting to either "root"
or "user".
In any case, try comparing the outputs of 'parted -l' (needs root)
In both cases the result is:
Model: ATA SanDisk SDSSDA24 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 240GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 8000MB 7999MB primary ext4 boot
2 8000MB 40.0GB 32.0GB primary ext4
3 40.0GB 124GB 84.3GB primary ext4
4 124GB 240GB 116GB extended
6 124GB 132GB 7999MB logical ext4
7 132GB 140GB 7999MB logical ext4
5 232GB 240GB 8000MB logical linux-swap(v1)
and
'lsblk -f'. If you still see a discrepancy please paste the full output
of both commands.
Difficult to compare as lsblk reports usage ONLY for mounted partitions
while gparted reports values for mounted AND unmounted partitions.
Cut-n-paste from both runs:
