** Description changed: Binary package hint: nautilus When I tried to find out how big my home dir was, I right clicked, and it reported 127 GB with 22k files. That's not right so I tried again and it reported 45 GB and some other number of files. Each time I try, it usually reports a different size. If I open the directory and select all of the files, including hidden, nautilus reports 167 or so GB and a few more files. While typing this I left the proprieties window open and a few minutes after I opened the properties dialogue, it updated to 320K files 223GB. My home dir is mounted on a separate partition and df reports that I have used 318GB of it. + After deleting 200k items (100 Gigs or so) of trash form over the years, + It finally reports something that makes sense and takes only a few + seconds. - I imagine that it might still be calculating in the background but stopped updating the size counter. I thought It was done and had not indication that it was not. There is no noticeable HDD activity. + I imagine that it might still be calculating in the background but + stopped updating the size counter.
