My Moto X (first generation) has a 11.9GB of user storage, almost all of which is used. Here is the relevant line from df
:
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/storage/emulated/0 11.9G 10.3G 1.6G 4096
But when I go to the mount point and run du
:
/storage/emulated/0 $ du -hs .
5.0G .
There are no mount points under /storage/emulated/0
, so it can't be the files hidden under mount points issue.
Android Settings and ES File Explorer show numbers that corroborate this, with ~10GB used but a breakdown that doesn't total more than 5GB.
Is 10GB actually being used? If so, how can I find out where the other 5GB is going?
/storage/emulated/{x}
is typically symlinked to somewhere on/data
, so I would guess in both of these cases the available size is the total size of/data
, but you're only runningdu
on the one subdirectory. Tryls -l /storage/emulated
(or possibly up one level,ls -l /storage
) to see where it's pointing, then you might be able to use that to see if it's accurate. – eldarerathis Dec 09 '15 at 20:04/storage/emulated/0
is a loop mount of/data/media
. Unfortunately, I can't view/data
itself. Maybe it's time to root this phone :( – wingedsubmariner Dec 09 '15 at 20:28
