Symptoms
The Dashboard page displays disk usage information that can be misleading.
For example, on an r5900 the following information may be shown:
Storage Capacity: 109.4GB
System Storage Free: 89.1GB
System Storage Used: 15%
However, the storage capacity is a value taken from the root (/) filesystem. It does not represent the entire 800GB disk, and does not show information about the file systems where tenant images reside.
Impact
This is a cosmetic issue.
Conditions
View Dashboard page in webUI.
Workaround
Linux commands such as "df -hl -t ext4" will provide detailed information about disk usage.
Another breakdown of the disk partition use can also be seen using "lsblk /dev/nvme0n1". Note that nvme0n1 is the physical disk of interest.
Example from rSeries appliance:
# lsblk /dev/nvme0n1
