Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When viewing the properties of a disk, it reports total size, free
space, and used space. The used space appears to be wrong. I have an
empty disk that df -h reports as:
size used avail
746G 197M 708G
But the properties window says the capacity is 745.4 GB, with 707.4 GB
free, which agrees so far, but for used space, it says 38.1 GB.
My guess as to what is going on is that nautilus is ignoring the values
returned by statfs() which df reports for the used space, and
calculating what it thinks the used space is by subtracting free from
total. The kernel normally reserves 5% of the disk for root, so
statfs() reports a smaller avail size to normal users. Quotas also will
cause avail to be less than size - used. Nautilus should report the
used space according to statfs().
