** Summary changed: - Baobab reports incorrect sizes + Baobab reports incorrect sizes (with NTFS long-name files)
** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-utils I've noticed the baobab (aka Disk Usage Analyzer) is not reporting sizes of directories correctly. I my particular case all scanned subfolders are readable (and even writable) for user, so that is not a problem. After a few tests I concluded bug is within the gnome-utils package of versions 2.24.1 and up. I tried compiling number of versions on the same system, and it showed that older (2.20.0.1) have no such bug, only later versions. (A regression bug?) Anyway bug in dependent libraries is unlikely, cause in test all versions were linked against the same external libraries. There are bunch of screenshots added showing the bug. - Most screenshots show bug on NTFS patritions, however I confirmed the same bug also on ext3 - so it is also unlikely to be filesystem specific. + Thanks for Ernst's research it was pointed that it is NTFS long names that interferes with Baobab's scanning module. (see comments and links below for details) + My previous report of this bug on ext3 is more than likely linked to fact that it was a copy-paste from ntfs partition. + + Thanks to Paolo for developing patch! + Until patched release is out, you'll have to patch and compile from source. Affected: - gnome-utils baobab 2.24.1 and later (at least up to 2.26.0) + gnome-utils baobab 2.24.1 up to 2.26.0 w/o patch + on NTFS partitions (with long names - which usually are there) on all tested platforms (those currently being x86 and x86_64) -- Baobab reports incorrect sizes (with NTFS long-name files) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
