Discrepancy between Volume Usage Dashboard (~3GB) and actual disk usage (52MB)

I am seeing a significant discrepancy between the Volume Usage reported in the Railway dashboard and the actual usage reported by the OS inside the container.
- Observed Usage (Dashboard): Consistent growth up to ~3.00 GB.
- Actual Usage (Container CLI):52 MB (verified via
df -h /data and
du -sh /data ).
Environment Details:
- Mount Path:
/data - Filesystem Type: zfs (detected via device
/dev/zd37440 )
- Database: SQLite 3 (primary file is ~54MB).
Diagnostics Performed:
- Ran
du -sh /data which returns 52M.
2. Ran
df -h /data which returns 52M Used and 4.5G Available.
3. Verified directory contents via
ls -laR /data . No large hidden files or journal logs (WAL/SHM) account for the missing ~2.9GB.
4. No "open deleted files" appear to be inflating the block usage.
Could you please clarify if this 3GB represents provisioned blocks, snapshot overhead, or if there is a known delay in the volume metric aggregation? I want to ensure I am not actually nearing the 5GB volume limit while the container reports only 2% usage.
