[QUOTE="pine man, post: 1803456, member: 329282"] Further research reveals that the space that aopears to be missing in DiskUtility is 'Purgeable' space, which has something to do with using cloud storage and optimising the disks. If you fill up the disk beyond it's apparant capacity it will release some of the 'Purgable' space by utilising cloud storage. I think that 'Snapshots' are involved in this as well somehow. Anyway it's not a problem that can't be solved with a stiff Gin & Tonic, plenty of ice and a slice of lime! [/QUOTE]
