Directory container storage pool uses more space than expected on the file system.

Question & Answer


Question

Why does my directory container storage pool use more space used on the file system than is indicated by the output from QUERY STGPOOL?
For example,
**************************************************
*** ---> Q STGPOOL * F=D 
**************************************************
Storage                          Storage        Storage              Estimated    Pct   
Pool Name                    Pool Type    Type                    Capacity      Util  
----------------------   -----------     ---------------   ----------      -----  
CONTAINER_STGP    Primary          DIRECTORY      5,353 G       67.4  
We see 4.6 TB used on the file system, as opposed to the expected 3.6TB (67.4% of 5,353GB).
