What you're missing here is the fact that different tools report the sizes |
| 42 |
differently. |
| 43 |
Look into the difference between "GiB" and "GB": |

|
| 47 |
you have: |
| 48 |
750156.38 MiB = |
| 49 |
750156380 KiB = |
| 50 |
750156380000 B = |
| 51 |
732574589.8 KB = |
| 52 |
715404.87 MB = |
| 53 |
698.63 GB |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
(with the "i" the factor is 1000, without it, the factor is 1024) |
