Description Ole Laursen 2003-10-20 19:47:46 UTC 
The values that gnome-system-monitor reports for the disk usages are wrong
on my laptop because gnome-system-monitor assumes that the disk block size
is 512. This is not true in general (I think it is 1024 on my laptop). This
is rather confusing.

Ideally, the problem would be fixed in libgtop by augmenting the API for
fs-usage with the disk block size. I've filed bug #12504 regarding that.

Except that it was bug #125049. Sorry for the incorrect link.

Comment 3 Ole Laursen 2003-11-20 17:42:27 UTC 
I posted to bug #125049 that I think you misunderstood my bug report.
The incorrect lines are, AFAICS, lines 529-531 and 626-629 in callbacks.c:

  btotal = (float)usage.blocks * 512;
  bfree = (float)usage.bfree * 512;
  bused = (float)(usage.blocks  - usage.bfree) * 512;
Comment 4 Ole Laursen 2003-11-20 21:02:15 UTC 
It seems the bug should not be closed yet, reopening.
Comment 5 Ole Laursen 2004-07-07 14:03:40 UTC 
This has been fixed now, closing the bug.
