Bug Description

I have a recent macbook with 160 GiB Hard drive, entirely occupied by a single ubuntu hardy install (of course the hard drive is actually a bit smaller, as hardrive companies usually cheat on real size). while the system recognizes the disk space propertly (even nautilus shows the right values: 120 GiB occupied, 16 GiB free -the rest is 6 GiB swap), the "disk usage analyzer" (baobab package) basically doubles the size:
283 GiB occupied, 47,2 free, for a total of more than 320 GiB. The "scan filesystem" utility in baobab works fine, anyway. See attachment

you need to associate this with an ubuntu package as it probably has nothing to do with you have a Mac.

I believe this is because the "filesystem" includes both your / partition and gvfs by default. Go to Edit -> Preferences in Disk Usage Analyzer to see what I mean. It's essentially listing your / partition twice. Not quite sure why it would be set up like that.

Just disable gvfs-fuse-deamon in Preferences.
