Only 8GB of Storage available after installing Cyanogenemod on Kenzo/Kate - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey There,
yesterday I unlocked my Redmi Note 3 (32GB Special Edition) with the help of this excellent guide:
h**p://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2566258#r51587231
I used the unofficial way to unlock because the official one didn't work for me.
Now TWRP and Cyanogenmod are working perfectly and I love my new phone!
There is only one issue, after installing Cyanogenmod, i got less 8 GB of storage. available.
I suppose it has something to to with the partitioning of the internal SD, could that be? How can I expand the mounted volume to access the whole internal memory?

After you did the unofficial unlock did you boot into miui or flashed right the costum rom ?
I had this problem also on my kate device , the problem happens when you not boot into miui first.
You need to boot after unlock first into miui and setup look the storage is ok , after flash a costum rom and it will be fine

You're right, after unlocking I directly flashed TWRP via fastboot then booted into recovery and installed my rom.
Damn, I should have known that... Is there a way to change that now, without doing it all over again?

reboot to recovery, format data from wipe menu.
NOTE:INTERNAL SD CARD AND ALL INSTALLED APPS WITH DATA WILL BE WIPED.

I have the 32GB version as well. I ran into the same problem and formatted Data like the poster recommended above and mine says 23.99GB.

Same here. I had 24gb and after erasing and flashing MIUi developer rom I now have 24Gb in CM13.

So its normal to have 24GB with CM13 instead of 32GB?
Could anyone confirm?

I used to have the same problem before.
Solution :after unlocking the bootloader open twrp and boot to system. After the successful boot reboot to twrp, then wipe data only. Then reboot again to twrp
Now wipe every partition of your device (even internal storage)
That's it.
Done..
Remember I've used a memory card to store Rom files,
You can also place them on your mobile after wiping internal storage using a pc

Here is the breakdown of storage on my 16 gb internal storage. Using latest Nitrogen oreo 8.1
If u know, the dalvik cache is stored in data so that system space is freed.
And i have no apps installd internal storage because i have setup memory card as adoptable storage.
U might consider a FORMAT DATA in twrp before flashing a new rom.
Flash a miui rom> unlock officially > flash twrp > format data, wipe system and everything > flash rom and gapps.
