Answer

  • Even the units are shown in base-10 (GB/TB), they are actually in base-2 (GiB/TiB)
  • Example from CLI output (notice the units shown in GB/TB): 

cluster1::> aggr show  -fields size, availsize , usedsize , percent-used                   
aggregate        availsize    percent-used    size        usedsize
--------        ---------    ------------    -------     --------
aggr_1          45.80TB        27%           62.49TB     16.69TB 
aggr_1_root     17.85GB        95%           368.4GB     350.6GB 
aggr_2_ssd_01   46.51TB        26%           62.49TB     15.98TB
