Just upgraded several of our C9200L-48T-4Xs to 17.9.4 after finding a bug in the 17.9.3 code. While the upgrade was successful, a couple are showing significantly different free space after the upgrade(less than 1gb).

This is not a serious issue right now, but it will be later when we need to upgrade to a newer version of code. I did a "dir /recursive flash:" and did a diff on the output, comparing files sizes. While they weren't exactly the same, the difference is negligible. I can find nothing(logs, old files, etc.) to explain why there is such a discrepancy in remaining space. Does anyone have any ideas?
