ESX 3.0 Datastore Issue

We have an issue with one of the datastore. Couple of days back we have additional extent to datastore with additional 250 GB capactiy. But the datastore still shows us the old capactiy which was 400GB. When we do rescan/refresh we could see 650 GB on datastore but after few minutes its showing the old size 450 GB. As of now we have 150 GB free space on the datastore

Datastore was formatted with 1MB block size.

Is this because of the block size its blocking the addtionl space??
