screenshot showing gparted versus baobab

My harddrive is approx 500GB. Baobab reports that it is 2TB. This happens if I run Baobab normally, or via gksu.

GParted reports the correct size.

Ubuntu 11.10

  Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu1

Comment 2 Fabio Marzocca 2012-01-27 13:16:55 UTC 
What I see in your screenshot is that you have a Total Filesystem capacity of 2TB. This includes every mount you may have in your system (including remote mounts) and not excluded from Baobab preferences. GParted reports only local disks (and in the screenshot you are showing just /dev/sda.

There is no bug at all here.
Comment 4 d❤vid 2012-01-27 13:41:27 UTC 
Thanks. Under "Preferences" I can see that in fact /dev/sda1 is reported as 486 GB.
