OK, hang in there.
When you install the software, where do you install it?
The blocksize setting, do you know how big the blocks of the drive are? If your blocks are set to the highest, and you have a 16kb file (like a small picture or sprite), then it still takes up the whole size of the block that you created.
Here is cut and paste "This leads to space inefficiency due to internal fragmentation, since file lengths are often not integer multiples of block size, and thus the last block of a file may remain partially empty. This will create slack space, which averages half a block per file. Some newer file systems attempt to solve this through techniques called block suballocation and tail merging.", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_(data_storage
I hope this might explain what happened. GOsh, you might think I have been reading about disk configs and the different RAIDS for Different applications.
I have said it once, I will say it again. IT!
