I just flashed the CM7 hboot using android flasher tool.
Here's a screenshot (regarding which my question is actually based) of "Quick System Info"

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Per the alpharev website, the readings should be as follows:
/system - 145M
/cache - 5M
/data - 287M
Now, in the screenshot I posted, internal storage (288M) and system storage (145M) seem all right, but why do I have such high "system cache"?? :-o
Also, shouldn't I have the full 287 MB (more or less) internal storage available considering I have only one app installed - Quick System Info, to post the information that is. Is the 40 odd MB accounting to "dalvik cache", perchance?
P.S New to flashing hboots, hence the doubt.
Since no one replied to this, here's the fix I got over at another forum.
Quick System Info is basically showing wrong info wrt to the cache partition.
Better way to check would be using another app Freespace or querying the file systems directly.
Here're the respective screenshots:
Freespace:
Using Adb or Terminal:
Cheers!
Cyanogenmod uses the sd card as system cache. The dalvik cache is in general stored in /data, unless one moves it to sd.

Hello All,
I did search before posting but could not find anything close to what I am experiencing. I am coming from Paranoid Android ROM to Galaxy S fre3 2.34d and I started with a squeaky clean install (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data). I then installed zip from sd card of the rom and then the update and restarted.
When I rebooted and chose to have google NOT restore from backup, I am left with only 2.64GB of internal storage which does not seem right.
The internal storage breakdown does not match what is left over. I should still have something like 8.9GB left over. Any suggestions?

Tap on Miscellaneous file. This will open a window showing you what's taking up so much space.
From there you choose to delete the folders or if you have questions post a screen shot of the results and we can try to help you determine what needs to be deleted.
I understand what you are saying but if you look at the big picture which is that the items listed, subtracted from the 11.95GB you start with does not equal 2.65GB left over.
I found a resolution by using the following wipe tool zip:

After flashing the factory reset zip file, I then installed my new ROM and have 11+GB available.
Quick random question, but how much space would you say does Android 4.3 take up on this? I calculated about 3.2 GB. Is that right?
These are reserved sizes (MB is base 2, ie MiB), unless otherwise noted
Bootloader(s) 12MB
Kernel 16MB
Recovery 10MB
System 827MB (591MB used for JSS15J)
Cache 551MB
1416MB total reserved.

That's how big the nandroid backup was.

Those are the partition sizes (except for the /system usage # which is the actual Android OS size)
I didn't include /data because that gets populated upon initial install with user data. While there are some technically OS files stored there, most of /data is going to be related to apps and data created after you start using the phone.
Today I have downloaded DiskInfo app and it says Note 2 has 1.3Gb of cache partition, 2Gb of /System 10.5Gb of /Data partition.. When added together it is 13.8 Gb.. However 16Gb claimed memory is 14.9 Gb normally. So 1 Gb is missing.
Does anyone know what is the proper partitioning/foldering/indexing (whatever it is called in Linux world) of and average (or say Note 2) Android phone and what they stand for? So far I know
/system is for installing the ROM itself, it is read only and 2Gb allocated for Note 2
/data (including /data/media which is for user objects like mp3s or videos or anything) is for the user and the apps to be installed.. Usually the rest of the memory after taking necessary other parts, is used as /data
/preload I don't know if this is seperate partition or just a sub-folder of some other partition. But it contains the videos and pics of Sammy ROMs. No idea about the size..
/cache? It is 1.3gb..But why?
I got this from sdmaid app. This may help you. :what:

You can find some answers on this page.
The size of /cache partition should depend on the number of apps / files you have/use.
Hello,
Never had any issues with my G3 in the year ive had it until now!
Basically I've checked my storage as my 16gb internal seemed to be incredibly low (especially since I store everything on my SD), I then realised I had a huge 8gb +/- taken up under Misc - system data. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to reduce this size.
On Samsung phones you can enter the hidden menu and wipe dumpstates and logcats but cant find the option on my d855 hidden menu.
I've flashed a bunch of ROMs and done resets etc but the problem persists. Any help would be great.
Using apps like System Cleaner etc etc DO NOT do anything as the problem lies in system data.
Thanks
Curtis

UPDATE
I've managed to improve my situation by doing the following;
Deleted the 'Facebook.orca' folder from my internal sd (That was a massive 4gb- but for some reason didn't come up under app data etc)
Installed FolderMount and linked my DCIM/Picture folders to my SD to give me an extra 1.5gb of internal space.
good day guys,,
the problem is like that,,, obviously the system is counting the space that is consumed by the application i've had installed on it, wrong, cause i'm very sure that it can't never occupies that much the system analysis is telling me,
i calculated the size of all the applications on my device it turned out to be around 9 GB
yet the System counting it for about 10.82 GB
= 1.82 gb is like geny in the air, i can't find it
2nd, i think the device is giving these applications wrong size any way,
so,, there most be something wrong with the system reading to the memory or the applications space,
1- i formatted the the memory through the reset factory function
2- wiped the memory through the recovery
3- re installed fresh official room by the oden,
yet still the same !!
what do you think guys,
screen shot & device information attached for your reference
MODEL NO: SM-P601
ANDROID VERSION: 5.1.1 (OFFICIAL ROOM)
INTERNAL MEMORY SIZE: 16 GB
