What application produces this pie chart?– Organic MarbleOct 17, 2018 at 18:39

I am guessing here, but it could be the default 5% reserved space that ext3/4 has. You can remove it with this command: sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdXX where XX would be the device letter and partition number. In your case you may even be able to run this: sudo tune2fs -m 0 /media/hero– G TrawoOct 17, 2018 at 20:42

1@GTrawo THX, I just want to know what this means, for the sake of data security I am not going to execute these commands. ^^– RikoOct 18, 2018 at 5:37

@Hatsune Good choice. It's not necessary to run those commands. But if you want to read up more on setting the reserved space take a look here: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/250418/…– G TrawoOct 18, 2018 at 14:09
