Total size calculated from store stats doesn't match what's on disk?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello, i have the following indices on disk:

220K ./.kibana
230M ./servicelog-2017.02.24
37M ./requestlog-2017.02.24
2.2M ./auditlog-2017.02.24
269M .

However when i look hit the stats api, i'm seeing quite a different number for total size_in_bytes of my indices. 269M vs 96052567bytes

"_all" : {
"primaries" : {
"docs" : {
"count" : 159823,
"deleted" : 1
},
"store" : {
"size_in_bytes" : 96052567,
"throttle_time_in_millis" : 0
},

What's the reason for this discrepancy?

The storage capacity displayed by your local OS includes translog and state information. The indices size_in_bytes does not include that.
