Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice?action=diff&rev2=33&rev1=32>
** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Triaged
** Description changed:
Using rtm 65, it has been reported that the free space, as currently
displayed, is not correct.
The category includes the space on all partitions, but it seems that the
most interesting information is the space available for
applications&data, so the space on the user partition only (said
different "there is space available on the ro system partition that is
counted as free but shouldn't")
Note that if we change the "free space" computation, to do what is
described before, the total is not going to match the categories. We
would need tweaks then, to what is taken into account, and how. One
solution, in that case, would be to count the "free space on the system
partition" as "Used by Ubuntu"
+
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice#storage>: "* 'Used by Ubuntu',
+ or 'Reserved for Ubuntu' with the whole partition size if Ubuntu has a
+ partition to itself"
** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu)
Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned)
** Summary changed:
- The storage design lacks specifics on the categories
+ In Storage, some "Free space" isn't available to the end user
