The available space of the LUKS mapped device is going to be smaller
than the partition size.  On one of my 3 TB drives, it's about ~44
GB smaller (~1.6%).  The LUKS meta-data is going to be in there,
including the header.

That doesn't make sense. The LUKS header is a shade over 1 MiB,
depending on the specific options (the FAQ has details). The size of
the header isn't related to the size of the container. Something else
is going on in your case.

Here's the data:

2017-02-10 07:38:40 root@cd2533 ~
# parted /dev/sda u s p
Model: ATA ST3000DM001-1ER1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 5860533168s
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start  End          Size         File system  Name     Flags
 1      2048s  5860532223s  5860530176s               primary

2017-02-10 07:40:57 root@cd2533 ~
# df | egrep 'File|mnt'
Filesystem                1K-blocks      Used  Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/i3000d_crypt 2884281560 848596104 1889172304  31%
/mnt/i3000d


Here's the math:

   5860530176 s / (2 s/kB) - 2884281560 kB
 = 2930265088 kB           - 2884281560 kB
 = 45983528 kB
~= 44905.8 MB
That's the size of the filesystem afterall.

D'oh!


Lookt at blockdev --report to see the blockdev sizes (i.e. physical
disk, partition, crypt device).


RTFM blockdev(8):

2017-02-10 10:01:08 root@cd2533 ~
# blockdev --report /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/mapper/i3000d_crypt
RO    RA   SSZ   BSZ   StartSec            Size   Device
rw   256   512  4096          0   3000592982016   /dev/sda
rw   256   512  4096       2048   3000591450112   /dev/sda1
rw   256   512  4096          0   3000589352960   /dev/mapper/i3000d_crypt


So, it looks like LUKS consumes:

3000591450112 - 3000589352960 = 2097152 = 2 MB


Thanks for the correction.  :-)


Check against dmsetup

RTFM dmsetup(8):

2017-02-10 10:14:06 root@cd2533 ~
# dmsetup info /dev/mapper/i3000d_crypt
Name:              i3000d_crypt
State:             ACTIVE
Read Ahead:        256
Tables present:    LIVE
Open count:        1
Event number:      1
Major, minor:      254, 2
Number of targets: 1
UUID: CRYPT-LUKS1-<redacted>-i3000d_crypt_unformatted


--table

RTFM dmsetup(8), the --table option requires a <table> value.  WAG:

2017-02-10 10:14:17 root@cd2533 ~
# dmsetup info --table LIVE /dev/mapper/i3000d_crypt
Name:              i3000d_crypt
State:             ACTIVE
Read Ahead:        256
Tables present:    LIVE
Open count:        1
Event number:      1
Major, minor:      254, 2
Number of targets: 1
UUID: CRYPT-LUKS1-<redacted>-i3000d_crypt_unformatted


I'm not sure what I am checking...

My bad, it is just dmsetup table - this dumps all (active) devicemapper targets with all essential data ... you can basically take a look at where in the drive a mapping starts, how long it is etc. . The output includes the key for crypt targets and whatever additional data each type of target offers. It sometimes helps to understand the exact layout better (You'll need to know/understand those numbers however). Just in case you think you hit some inconsistency or the like. No need however to post it here.

As you know by now, the size of the crypto target (the device size available to the filesystem) is just 2MBytes less than the partition size. So maybe check again on the filesystem size (use the corresponding filesystem tools if necessary). If you did not increase the device size at any time after fs creation, then somehow your mkfs did something wrong. Depending on the fs, if you have a backup of the data, you could try growing the fs to the full size of the container.

P.S.: Usually df reports the available space to files AFAIK, this should be roughly devicesize-metadatasize, where metadata is internal filesystem structures but not filenames and the like (inode space). But I cannot tell for 100%. I.E.: for a 16GB filesystem I have a difference of roughly 10 MBytes. (Depends certainly on the filesystem used ...)
