The current blockchain size is 402.55 GB for Apr 25 2022
Bitcoin Blockchain is roughly 389 gigabytes
Both are inaccurate. Achow101 was correct. Mine is 428 GB (459 billion bytes).root@simba:~# df -h

You can reduce the reserved blocks space as a temporary solution. The default is 5%, if you make it 2%, you gain 15 GB. See for instance this site.Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

Thank you for tips. I checked the tunefs and got following:
root@simba:~# tune2fs -l /dev/sda4 | grep 'Reserved'
Reserved block count: 6553600
Reserved GDT blocks: 1024
Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root)
Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root)
This doesn't seem like 15GB. Am I correct?
Never mind. I just realized this is the number of blocks. Thank you for this tip. It gave me back 15GB!
