Nextcloud uses 200GB? Incorrect available disk size after installation

Hi,

I already read this thread but it didn’t help me since I am not using nc snapshot.

Apparrently I loose 200GB somewhere. Maybe this is not an issue with Nextcloud itself but more with my partition. These are my logs:

pi@home:~$ df -h

pi@home:~$ lsblk

I have a 4TB Disk which is also my data directory. As you see from the 3.6TB size only 3.4TB are available, when only 891M are used. Also in the Nextcloud frontend it says that there is 3.4TB available space. This is my fstab configuration:

Thanks for your help!

That is due to the default of an ext2/3/4-filesystem reserving 5% of the available disk space for privileged processes: Disk has 197G, but when it reaches 188G it is considered 100% full - #6 by Bernie_O

Thank you for your answer!
Since 200GB is a lot, will there be a problem if I tune it down to maybe 1%?
40GB should be more than enough for root processes right?

I would think so, yes. Especially since it seems not to be the root filesystem.
