For Lustre 2.10 and up, the default inode size is 1KB.  Unless you specifically 
pass different options to your mkfs command, it will create an inode for every 
2.5KB of MDT space.  So the amount of free space will actually be 1.5KB/2.5KB = 
60% of the total space.  For your MDT, 0.6 x 6.5TB = 3.9TB. That is the source 
of the size discrepancy.
