df -h show me the disk isn't full

GParted show me the disk is full I am trying to understand why on GParted sda1 look like full (and therefore it's impossible to edit the partition) but on terminal show me the disk in use is just 9%. Can anyone help me to understand why I have the full disk but in reality, it isn't?

That's because you are using logical volume management (LVM)

  • the /dev/sda1 partition contains an LVM physical volume (PV)
  • the PV is assigned to a volume group (VG)
  • the VG contains your root filesystem

So

  • the PV fully occupies the partition
  • the filesystem fully occupies the VG

but

  • the files only occupy a small fraction of the filesystem
