Description Christian Jäger 2007-09-27 11:14:52 UTC

In the 'Status' field of the GNOME main-menu, only the space/free space of my boot partition is reported. I am using an LVM-system. Related: Bug 328864.

Comment 1 Mark Gordon 2007-09-27 15:29:44 UTC

I suspect the LVM is causing some confusion.  Given that YaST seems similarly confused (328864), I'd guess that there's some lower-lying cause of the confusion.

Jimmy: how's this number determined?

It asks HAL for all devices whose capability is "volume".  From that list it chooses all devices which are both mounted and a disc.  From there it uses libgtop to figure out the usage.
