Trying to get accurate disk usage info from CentOS

There you go. You moved it.
Look at my text above. Yours is probably sitting right there
In a place like this, just not mounted.
/dev/mapper/centos_relay01-home -

There's missing info. If I add it all up (the total space), I get like 55 GB. But that disk is 304.63 GB total. So I'm missing two logical volumes in there.
Right, df is a view of mounted filesystems only, not of unmounted volumes or devices.

Right, and by default, when you let CentOS map the first drive with the defualt settings in the install wizards, you will get 50GB set to / and the rest dumped to /home.
So he built the system and it did that. Then he added the drive and redicted home. so the mount went away.

I see. That makes more sense now.
The problem now is that I have a spreadsheet, that says this:
And I'm still not seeing the used 32.4 or so GB. According to my output in my OP, it's only using about 3.5 GB total (excluding the big drive).

You might have something mounted over top of something else.

Okay yeah, I did some more digging and you all were right, it just simply wasn't mounted. The spreadsheet was not accurate.
So the system itself is only using 3.8 GB? it says "/" Didn't realize it was that small, so used to Windows.

Depending on what you split out, yeah. Can be quite tiny.
I just did a Fedora 25 install a few hours ago. Total size of / including everything (no splitting off) is 1.5GB. And Fedora is not considered light at all. That's with bloat like Cockpit installed! I could trim that down rather a bit if I was so inclined.
