I'm encountering an issue with the system monitor on my Arch Linux system. According to the system monitor, it shows that I have 1.8 TiB of total space, but in reality, I only have 1 TiB of space available.
Here is the output of lsblk for my disk:
[vitalik@Vitalik-PC ~]$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
nvme0n1 259:0 0 953.9G 0 disk
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 100M 0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 16G 0 part [SWAP]
└─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 937.8G 0 part /
Kernel: 6.8.1-arch1-1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2
Could someone please help me understand why the system monitor is displaying incorrect information and how I can resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

That number shows you total capacity of all installed disks. Not technically incorrect and I doubt that this particular widget is configurable, you can create your own diskspace pages that would only look at mounted disk space.

I understand that the number shown represents the total capacity of all installed disks. However, in my case, I have only one installed disk with a capacity of 1 TiB, as evidenced by the output of the parted and fdisk commands:

Mine is off as well. I have 33.5 TiB and it shows 61 TiB. Doesn't cause any problems and not something I mind. I was trying to google and figure why it was so off and stumbled upon this. So I'm not actually asking for a fix or tying to have anyone help I just felt that it kind of confirms what Mr.Vitalik had said so now he knows he isn't alone.

Idk what what widgets shows there, but MrVitalik gets roughly double the size of the root partition, so it probably gets counted twice…
df -h # df -H will print SI units
