I have increased the size of the partition of my Pop_OS installation (/nvme0n1p4) from 128 GB to 650 GB using Gparted (from the live USB stick). I have set it exactly to 650 GB.

But in Pop_OS I now have the problem that I am shown three different sizes:

  • The command fdisk -l tells me that the partition has a size of 634.8 GB.
  • The app “disks” tells me that the partition has a size of 682 GB.
  • The app “Stacer” tells me the partition has a size of 624.2 GB.

I am now a bit confused and would like to ask you if anyone knows a solution or can at least tell me which indication is correct. I mean, if this indication is wrong, is the information at all correct, how much space of the SSD is already used? I also see different specifications there…

    That’s really weird. But I can explain one value there:

    You set it to 650 GB (1000 bytes), fdisk might show you GiB (1024 bytes) though. Which would be 634.8 GiB.

    It’s the same as you buying a 1 TB disk and you only get a 977 GB partition out of it.

    No clue about your other apps though, sorry.
