           Summary: Nautilus Properties incorrectly totals sizes of
                    hardlinked files
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: morgan-ubuntu at mcode.co.za

I have a baz revision library, and wanted to know how much disk space it is
taking up. I right-clicked on the directory using nautilus and went to
properties. It came up with a total filesize of 40.2 GB. 'du -s' on the other
hand reported about 4 GB. Lots of files in the revision library are hardlinked
together - hence nautilus is naively adding the file sizes together instead of
noting which files occupy the same space.
