Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: baobab
Baobab 2.26.0
Ubuntu 9.04
gnome-utils:
Installed: 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 0

Baobab reports usage on per directory structure basis (and refers to it as "filesystem") and not potentially more important per partition basis.
Use case: John has a separate partition mounted for his home directory
and it is almost full, but as baobab composites the usage report from
all partitions mounted below /, and so it appears that he has plenty of
room available for his photos whereas in reality, the free space is
located in another(/the root) partition.
Solution: When a particular folder is selected, an additional usage
report for the partition hosting that folder should be shown.
This seems to have been discussed and "fixed" back in 2.19.90-0ubuntu1 in early 2008 here:

But either it has regressed or has not really relieved the issue.
