i guess, that my laptop have not 128 TiB hard drive space hahahah




this is my root directory. i have selected all files and directories in it except /home directory. then right click and properties,,,, hahahahahaha what is it?

hmmmmm.... you think that it is normalll???

would suggest you file a bug report on bugs.kde.org

if you calculate amount on a reasonably sized folder (say /home) are the result correct?

the device graph and numbers shown are correct?

yes, device graph are correct, and i get this "ERROR" only in '/' root directory...
here is a picture of my /home directory, i guess all is correct.




what to do?
is it easy to submit a bug report? im new here, and dont know how and where to do

bug reporting is pretty easy, there's a selection of apps to select, then a list of recent relevant reports to ensure it's not already reported followed by a form to be filled out . if the bugs already reported you can add your information and also vote for it

Can you just double check with something like ncdu or some such to see whether they report the correct size?

sorry, but what ncdu is?

tryed ncdu... i guess all is ok

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53352759/snapshot7.png

as i can see, "Total disk usage: 13.0GiB Apparent size: 12.8GiB Items: 106500 "

oh, nooo,,, it is not correct, here is result of ncdu in root / diectory:
Total disk usage: 18.8GiB Apparent size: 128.0TiB Items: 355789

sooo??? it is a not bug of KDE???

ncu has it's own bug tracker http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/bug

as I don't know what Dolphin calls to calculate this could you try the command

Code: Select all

du -sb

for / as it's a more standard command then ncdu

ok, thank you all

here is what a guy from ncdu says me(yess i have reported it )

"That's the apparent size (i.e. how many bytes you get when you'll actually read the files), not really disk usage. Hit 'a' to switch to viewing the apparent sizes for each directory to hunt down the problematic file. Most likely it's /proc/kcore.

I advice the use of the -x flag to tell ncdu to scan only a single filesystem, not /proc, /sys, and whatever else you may have mounted."

so, , , it is a not bug ahahahah it is a FEATURE haahahahahah

maybe still report this to bugs.kde and that they should change to using -x flag

yes i have don it simultaneously
but one thing,,, i installed ncdu after this error, so kde uses some other software, not ncdu ,,,
hmmmm...

why I suggest you still post on bugs.kde.org, they may use du (estimate file space usag) which might have same "feature"
