Description Gerd Roscher 2015-08-05 09:49:42 CEST

One of the last updates has this bug. My HDD shows suddenly 0% free space. Then i saved all the data on an external HDD to make my home-partitition empty. Now there are less than 100 MB of data, somewhat between 60-80 MB.

The PCManFM-Filemanager shows me now 30.1 GiB of free space.

This bug is not clear to me. Are you saying PCManFM_Filemanager does not give correct values for total space and free space and that many GBs are "missing"?

If so, and if this is about your home directory, then do 

  cd ~

and check with 

  du | awk '/G\t/'

whether there are hidden directories that are larger than 1GB

if it's about your entire system, then 

become root 

  su

  cd /

  du | awk '/G\t/'

The Problem is SOLVED. It was .Synkron  which filled my HDD. Many Thanks to Marja :-)

@ juancho (since you're the only synkron committer, apart from umeabot)

Can this bug be closed as invalid, or should Synkron have given a warning before there was 0% space left (see comment #0)

Well if synkron should give a warning when running out of space then a bug report should be opened upstream, I think we can close this one as invalid.
