Disk space field in Admin console seriously differs from devices (not ephemeral)

Project Member Reported by eryen@chromium.org, Jun 6 2018

Issue description

Original bug reported by vkhabarov@ in b/109821291.

Chrome Version: v65+
OS: Chrome OS

Description:
"Disk space" in Admin console shows numbers which seriously differ from ones observed on devices, I know there are some similar issue involving Ephemeral mode, but in this case it's not used.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Check storage management on Chromebook and df -h
2. Check Device management/Chrome devices/System Activity and Troubleshooting in Admin console

What is the expected result?
Numbers should be close, only affected by check interval

What happens instead?
Numbers are completely different

atwilson@: could you help us identify the right Eng owner for this bug?

Assigning to Weifang. There is a certain amount of disk space that is not reflected in the storage management UI, this might be a known issue.
Weifang: we actually upload free/total space for every mounted volume as part of device reporting:

https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/chromeos/policy/device_status_collector.cc?q=DeviceStatusCollector&sq=package:chromium&g=0&l=111

So this is a reasonable place to add logging to see what's being reported to the server and diff vs what df is reporting.
Hi guys, 

I was wondering if you have an update about this behavior. Customer affected is still waiting to see why the discrepancy is showing between the Google Admin Console and the device itself. 

Thanks for the help!!

@c#3, ah, so it looks the Chrome OS has the potential to report more volume usage details, or is it already reporting it?
If it is the latter, should we continue the bug as a server side bug, b/109821291?

Hi Team, 

Is there any update about this know issue?

Thanks in advance!!

raising priority, because customer has thousands devices reporting incorrect disk space usage.
