[Bug 370487] Re: df -a contradicts Disk Usage Analyzer.

[Jarlath]

I'm having the same problem with Baobab 2.28.1 on Ubuntu 9.10.

Nautilus reports 4.3GB available and 'df -h' command report 4.4GB
available. Boabab says I have 5.7GB available.

The reason for this is in confusion over the terms 'free space' and
'available space'.

If you run System Monitor and click the File Systems tab, I can see the
information:

Free Space: 5.7GB
Available: 4.3GB (As opposed to the 4.4GB reported by 'df -h'

So it seems that the problem isn't specific to one package but maybe
just a lack of co-ordination on how to report disk usage among all these
applications. I don't know how to report this problem though, as there
doesn't seem to be a specifiic package to report it to. Maybe the
desktop experience team?
