That -dedup on the end of the name of the storage makes me think that file system is using deduplication. If that's true, that's one of the things that throws off standard disk tools. Usually deduplication is achieved using a lot of hard linking, and so when an application like, say df for example, tries to give you the amount of space used, it thinks there is far more space used than there actually is.

Is there a vendor approved way to view the space on that file system? If so, what does it say the storage capacity is at? Also, is this check running against the actual device hosting the storage, or is this running against a server that is mounting storage from the storage hosting device via something like NFS or Samba?
