Bug ID: 501110
Summary: Filelight does wrongly calculate because of hard links
Classification: Applications
Product: filelight
Version: 24.12.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: branch8...@protonmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Filelight does wrongly calculate the size of the /var/lib/flatpak/ directory.
This directory contains many hard links. Because of this Filelight includes
files multiple times into the size calculation.
One gets the correct size of the directory with this bash argument:
du -sh /var/lib/flatpak/
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Filelight
2. Let Filelight calculate the size of /var/
OBSERVED RESULT
The directory size that Filelight gives for /var/lib/flatpak/ is twice as large
as the size that du returns.
EXPECTED RESULT
The directory size that Filelight gives for /var/lib/flatpak/ is the same as
that which du returns.
