Someone else had your problem I believe. They're thread is down below. Their name is serious flash. They reported a similar thing. But not sure if they were using adaptive storage.

Hello, I just noticed that my SD card doubled in size after the update and System is now using 130GB of 256GB

The card is a 128GB Samsung evo

They also posted 2 screenshots showing it.

My personal advice to prevent possible data loss is to back up the contents of your sd card and reformat it. Then re enable adaptive storage.

Hmm weird. I guess adaptive storage is toast for now although I don't use it.

I have the same thing with the S4 Mini using Oreo (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-lineageos-16-t3851339).

I have a 128GB SD card but it shows as 256 in adopted storage. I used adb to use only 25 percent of the card as adopted; the remainder being formatted as FAT32 so as to be able to access it from other computers. Maybe that has something to do with it? If anyone has the same problem please report. This is probably a bug in Android.
