I recently installed Debian wheezy on a Compaq CQ56-115DX notebook
having a 250 GB hard drive. The Nautilus version is 3.4.2. When I
right-click on File System and select properties, it shows "248,789
items, totalling 140.7 TB."
It also shows "Free space: 67.3 GB." This, however, is approximately
the free space remaining only on the root ("/") filesystem, not the
space remaining on the entire disk. df shows:
/# df -h

/dev/sda6 34G 234M 32G 1% /usr/local
The disk is partitioned as
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 2048 2050047 1024000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 2052094 488396799 243172353 5 Extended

/dev/sda8 477194240 488396799 5601280 82 Linux swap / Solaris
with /boot on sda1, /root on sda5, and the other parts of the filesystem
as shown above. Should not the "Free Space" be shown for the entire disk
at this point?
