      not sure what you are not seeing? I have a 127gb vhdx assigned to this VM and let CentOS setup it's own default partitioning.

      [root@relay01 ~]# df -hT
      Filesystem                      Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
      /dev/mapper/centos_relay01-root xfs        50G  1.7G   49G   4% /
      devtmpfs                        devtmpfs  229M     0  229M   0% /dev
      tmpfs                           tmpfs     240M     0  240M   0% /dev/shm
      tmpfs                           tmpfs     240M  4.3M  235M   2% /run
      tmpfs                           tmpfs     240M     0  240M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
      /dev/sda2                       xfs       497M  280M  218M  57% /boot
      /dev/sda1                       vfat      200M  9.5M  191M   5% /boot/efi
      /dev/mapper/centos_relay01-home xfs        76G   33M   76G   1% /home
      tmpfs                           tmpfs      48M     0   48M   0% /run/user/0
      

      Just add it all up. Or do you need/want a utility to show that sum?

        Are you sure that they are all mounted?

          There's missing info. If I add it all up (the total space), I get like 55 GB. But that disk is 304.63 GB total. So I'm missing two logical volumes in there.

            CentOS 7 puts everything after 50GB into /home by default. Where did that go on your system?

              I have /home redirected to /media/DATA/home.

                Use lvs to get a view of volumes, rather than mounts.

                  There you go. You moved it.

                  Look at my text above. Yours is probably sitting right there

                  In a place like this, just not mounted. /dev/mapper/centos_relay01-home

                    Right, df is a view of mounted filesystems only, not of unmounted volumes or devices.

                      Right, and by default, when you let CentOS map the first drive with the defualt settings in the install wizards, you will get 50GB set to / and the rest dumped to /home.

                      So he built the system and it did that. Then he added the drive and redicted home. so the mount went away.

                        I see. That makes more sense now.

                        The problem now is that I have a spreadsheet, that says this:

                        0_1488909616286_Untitled.jpg

                        And I'm still not seeing the used 32.4 or so GB. According to my output in my OP, it's only using about 3.5 GB total (excluding the big drive).

                          You might have something mounted over top of something else.

                            Okay yeah, I did some more digging and you all were right, it just simply wasn't mounted. The spreadsheet was not accurate.

                            So the system itself is only using 3.8 GB? it says "/" Didn't realize it was that small, so used to Windows.

                              Depending on what you split out, yeah. Can be quite tiny.

                              I just did a Fedora 25 install a few hours ago. Total size of / including everything (no splitting off) is 1.5GB. And Fedora is not considered light at all. That's with bloat like Cockpit installed! I could trim that down rather a bit if I was so inclined.
