That's perfectly reasonable: it's only 54MB (which is a long way from 
689GB!)

Here's what I see on a moderately busy system:

root@ldex-prometheus:~# du -sck /var/lib/prometheus/data/chunks_head/*
81004        /var/lib/prometheus/data/chunks_head/006831
77824        /var/lib/prometheus/data/chunks_head/006832
158828        total

That's comparable to yours.

Therefore, I think you need to keep an eye on this periodically.  If only 
you had a monitoring system which could do this for you :-)

If it does start to rise, that's when you'll need to check prometheus log 
output and find out what's happening.  But this is very strange, and it 
does seem to be something specific to your system.
