[Owncloud] Fwd: Personal Storage Message Question

[Ken.Neiser]

My production server has 2 - 500 GB hard disks, the O/S is Fedora using 
LVM. I also have a CentOs 6.3 test server using LVM with 2 - hard disks 
with a total of around 500 GB. Both servers have owncloud installed. The 
CentOs server reports that I have 40 GB available under a similar user 
account circumstance.

The LVM in both cases is setup according to the defaults nothe fancy. No 
predetermined separate partitions. I have also chatted with another 
fellow who also setup owncloud and is getting similar results. He is 
more experienced with Linux that I am and he did not know how this value 
is determined.

So what is owncloud looking at?
