Version: 4.3RC1 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources Plasma widget for showing free disk space doesn't handle lvm partitions. It shows disks (/dev/[hs]d[a-z]) with empty bars instead.

The current implementation wrongly considers that filesystems reside in partitions. It is missing one or two levels of abstraction.
Using OpenSUSE 12.2 (KDE 4.8). I have one instance where it does not display mount point for external non-LVM partition - for the below partition, the mount point is not shown (instead it shows the device name): /dev/sdb5 41925184 29163488 12761696 70% /movies However, for /dev/sda* paritiions, the mount points are shown, as expected.
The widget seems to work fine in KDE 4.9 though. I don't remember at which point it started showing my LVM partitions, but it's been a while now :)
In my case /dev/sdb5 is not LVM (just an xfs partition on an external harddisk) so its doubly surprising that it would refuse to show the mountpoint and instead show the device name.
This bug report is about LVM partitions, so I guess you just commented on your case under the wrong bug?
Thats true. I guess I'll have a file a separate bug.
