#8571: "Get info" and volume space bar show wrong amount of free space --------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: janiczek | Owner: axeld Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: File Systems/BFS | Version: R1/Development Resolution: invalid | Keywords: disk usage bfs Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: x86 --------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by anevilyak): Replying to [comment:1 axeld]: > Furthermore, a file system itself uses up space for things you don't see. In the case of BFS, this includes the indices, and the log area among other things. Tracker's "Get Info" will show you what the file system reports as free which is 100% accurate, actually. A discrepancy of ~3GB seems like too much for just block waste though. Would perhaps be interesting to see the output of `checkfs -c /boot`, I seem to recall some instances in the past where a freshly built image had issues like this for some reason, though I don't recall the cause. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8571#comment:2> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
