Okay, I see what you mean. But in this case, capacity = committed.

I wonder if it is cleaner that just reports free, used and waste, e.g.

                          (  Metadata:                            )
                          (    reserved=22528KB,  committed=21504KB)
                          (    used=20654KB)
                          (    free=786KBKB)
                          (    waste=64KB =0.30%)

where free = (capacity - used) + free_chunks + available
       waste = committed - capacity - free_chunks - available
       total = committed
