how LOB is stored? -to find its size

Pls help me understand this.
I have a table with 3G size tablespace for it.
when I see the table size it shows only 140 M but table space is full and having all space utilized.
There is only one table with a LOB column in it.
Can you tell me where other space go ( I think LOB is stored and calculated differently )
Pls. help me understand how to figure out size of LOB.
Thanks.

Please refer the following website. You will get more than what you can digest on Large Objects(LOB's) http://www.dbazine.com/mullins_lobs.shtml

The article seems to be referring to DB2 for z/os, and not everything in it is valid for UDB on LUW.

You could determine size of data stored in a LOB column by SELECTing LENGTH(LOB_COLUMN_NAME); however, this cannot tell you how much space these data actually occupy in the tablespace. Please see Admin. guide: Planning for explanation of how LOB space is allocated.
