        From man:df:

        ‘-h’
        ‘--human-readable’
        Append a size letter to each size, such as ‘M’ for mebibytes. Powers of 1024 are used, not 1000; ‘M’ stands for 1,048,576 bytes. This option is equivalent to --block-size=human-readable. Use the --si option if you prefer powers of 1000.

          @mitu From WinScp as root I can write above this limit. The Pi user does not have access to this space.

          I can't use all the space as root because there are problems with Pi@retroPie - no avaiable free space

            @krinasam That's because 5% of the filesystem's capacity is reserved to the root, so regular users cannot break the system by filling up the entire capacity of the disk.
            You can use tunefs to change this reservation, my advice would be to reserve about 8-10 G of space.
