[Bug 68172] Re: [disks-admin] Free space size line is incorrect.
Marking as invalid, as disks-admin was removed from gnome-system-tools in ubuntu a long time ago. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- [disks-admin] Free space size line is incorrect. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upstream has abandoned g-s-t: Mass closing of remaining disks-admin and boot-admin bugs, sorry for the spam. Both tools are bitrotting, and no development is likely to happen on them. ** Changed in: gst Status: New = Invalid -- [disks-admin] Free space size line is incorrect. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68172 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

James, g-s-t and edgy have dropped that tools, it was bugged and need to be rewritten using hal, so that bug is a dapper one (and probably not likely to be worked soon) ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low Assignee: (unassigned) = Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed = Confirmed ** Tags added: disks-admin ** Also affects: gst (upstream) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [disks-admin] Free space size line is incorrect. https://launchpad.net/bugs/68172 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 68172] Re: [disks-admin] Free space size line is incorrect.
Since the gnome partitioner does not report a free space at that position im guessing that disks-admin is actually displaying a negativ free space using a unsigned integer, but since there can't possibly be a negativ number of free bytes on a harddrive i would say its a bug, and if nothing else it affects the useability of the software.

You probably guessed that, but you mentioned that the number reported (175921... GiB) is 780,000 times your drive.
