Bug ID: 429263
Summary: Filelight shows wrong amount of free space
Product: filelight
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: martin.sandsm...@kde.org
Reporter: jakoberz...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The amount of available space for a partition does not match the amount of
space that is shown by the command df. This is mostly because df accounts for
the reserved blocks, whereas Filelight does not.
Since the reserved blocks usually cannot be used by the user running the
program, I think the behavior of Filelight should be changed. This would also
make Filelight more consistent with Dolphin, which shows the same amount of
free space as df.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run df -h and observe the amount of available space on an EXT4 filesystem
partition
2. Open Filelight and hover the same partition to see the amount of free space
OBSERVED RESULT
The amount of free space is different between the two programs.
EXPECTED RESULT
The amount of free space should be roughly the same between the two programs.
