I am not familiar with GParted but partition tools show the size of the partition. The filesystem will consume some amount of disk blocks in order to support having a filesystem upon it. I expect that is what you are seeing. The filesystem size will always be less than the raw partition size. > Additionally, the difference in capacity and available space > reported by df (53 GB) is almost 3x the 19 GB it reports as used, > which makes sense if it isn't reporting hard links correctly since I > have 3 snapshots of my backup.

Something like this: $ strace -v -e statfs df /media/Backup That will tell us the data that 'df' is receiving from the system.
