Wrong "Hard Drive" Status shown on GNOME Main Menu
Last modified: 2008-03-11 22:40:39 UTC
When I click on the Computer button, the hard drive status shows "24G Free / 36G Total". This is wrong information because these are the statistics for my windows partition. Instead, it should show the statistics for the partition that contains the user's home directory. The System Monitor "File Systems" tab shows the following: Device Directory Type Total Free Available Used debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs 0 bytes 0 bytes 0 bytes 0 bytes /dev/hda1 /windows/C nfts 36.6 GiB 24.6 GiB 24.6 GiB 11.8 GiB /dev/hda2 /boot ext3 98.7 MiB 84.9 MiB 79.8 MiB 13.8 MiB /dev/md0 / ext3 72.3 GiB 68.0 GiB 64.3 GiB 4.3 GiB The Computer button should display "64G Free / 72G Total".
Danny, do the raid devices get exposed in hal properly?
JP, you had set dennis_cranston@yahoo.com as Info Provider. If suspect that you wanted to set it to some Danny at Novell/SUSE?
Yep.
Not sure, simply show lshal output for this, but I would assume that this is not supported 100% perfect.
Dennis, can you please give us the output of lshal?
I have the same problem both with openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3 Beta 3. In my case, GNOME Menu Status shows: "375M free/486M total" which is the information for my /boot partition and therefore utterly useless. Actual free space information from 10.3b3 test installation is: ts@xenon:~> LANG=C df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/Images-root103 20642428 4530876 15062976 24% / udev 501240 116 501124 1% /dev /dev/sda1 497829 113044 359083 24% /boot /dev/mapper/system-home 20642428 15965088 3628764 82% /home2 /dev/sr0 4555376 4555376 0 100% /media/SU103Bet.001 ts@xenon:~> Output from lshal is 2.5k lines, so I'll attach it rather than pasting.

ping?
Problem still exists in 10.3 final. It only manifests itself on my main machine which uses LVM. Two other machines which use plain physical partitions work fine.
Hel-LO? Anybody listening?
I have this same problem on my openSuse 10.3 machine.
Paul, as nobody seems to be listening here anymore, maybe we should open a new bug for 10.3 and mark this one as its duplicate (provided mere mortals have the right to do so). What do you think?
*** Bug 365229 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This has been fixed in svn and will go into openSUSE 11.0. I'm not sure if it will be backported. Assigning to maintainer for him to decide.
hmmm - dont think we should back port this so ... Fixed in 11.0 - version gnome-main-menu 0.9.9.
(In reply to comment #15 from Scott Reeves) > hmmm - dont think we should back port this so ... Pity. Any particular reason? Frankly, that bug has been known for a year, since the days of 10.2, has been reconfirmed by yours truly for 10.3 beta half a year ago, and still made it into 10.3 final anyway. Refusing to fix it in 10.3 now is somewhat disappointing. > Fixed in 11.0 - version gnome-main-menu 0.9.9. Can that be installed in 10.3 by the end user, or are there too many dependencies on other updated packages?

Any particular reason? > It is a change in behavior - for lvm and other types not recognized properly by hal it's a change from totally wrong to working so not an issue for that, but for users with multiple physical partitions it now only shows your home partition.
