lshw and df -h see a different partition size (5.5 TB vs. 200 MiB) for one of the partitions of my computer (Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS x64). I'm pretty sure df -h is right, as when I created the partition with parted, I configured the partition to be of size 5.5 TB. (here are the instructions I used to create the partition if it matters). Also, I tried to place more than 200 MiB of files in that partition and it worked fine.How comes lshw doesn't seem the same size as df -h?Below is the output of the two commands (the partition in question is /dev/sdb1, mounted to /crimea)username@server:/crimea$ df -hFilesystem                     Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted onudev                            63G   12K   63G   1% /devtmpfs                           13G  1.7M   13G   1% /run/dev/dm-2                      923G   54G  823G   7% /none                           4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroupnone                           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/locknone                            63G     0   63G   0% /run/shmnone                           100M     0  100M   0% /run/user/dev/mapper/vg_system-openafs  2.9G   49M  2.7G   2% /var/cache/openafsAFS                            2.0T     0  2.0T   0% /afs/dev/sdb1                      5.5T   58M  5.2T   1% /crimeausername@server:/crimea$ sudo lshw -C volume  *-volume:0       description: LVM Physical Volume       vendor: Linux       physical id: 1       bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0,1       logical name: /dev/sda1       serial: S3pp6Q-ZaaU-1Y3I-DE05-0cdd-xYZZ-4WvaKP       size: 953GiB       capabilities: multi lvm2       configuration: name=primary  *-volume:1       description: BIOS Boot partition       vendor: EFI       physical id: 2       bus info: scsi@0:0.0.0,2       logical name: /dev/sda2       serial: ce1dec5b-2888-49fd-a770-1f159765f7c5       capacity: 1023KiB       capabilities: nofs       configuration: name=primary  *-volume       description: EXT4 volume       vendor: Linux       physical id: 1       bus info: scsi@1:0.0.0,1       logical name: /dev/sdb1       logical name: /crimea       version: 1.0       serial: c3552308-705b-99db-9855-8e456c96a1ce       size: 200MiB       capacity: 5589GiB       capabilities: journaled extended_attributes huge_files dir_nlink extents ext4 ext2 initialized       configuration: created=2016-06-24 14:56:55 filesystem=ext4 lastmountpoint=/boot modified=2016-07-01 17:15:55 mount.fstype=ext4 mount.options=rw,relatime,data=ordered mounted=2016-07-01 17:07:19 name=primary state=mounted
lshw and df see a different partition size (5.5 TB vs. 200 MiB). Why?
