Description Dave 2013-01-17 12:36:38 UTC 
Filelight sees hardlinked files as individual files, consuming more disk space than they actually do. (On my system, a 10GB disk shows up as >100GB)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
mkdir test ; cd test
dd if=/dev/urandom of=testfile1 bs=1M count=100
ln testfile1 testfile2 ; ln testfile1 testfile3 ; ln testfile1 testfile4
filelight ..
Actual Results:  
interface shows the directory being 400MB

Expected Results:  
interface shows the directory being 100MB, like du -sh would
