SUMMARY Wrong calculation of disk partitions' capacity? STEPS TO REPRODUCE The "Hard disk" I'm mentioning is actually a disk partition. Command 'df -k' lists a capacity of 294243128 blocks of 1K (that is, 280,6 GiB) for a given partition. OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin's "Devices" panel displays 286.1 GiB (wrong) for that partition. Note: same issue (if confirmed to be an issue - in all cases, pretty misleading) observed with kdepartitionmanager, showing 286.10 GiB. On the other hand, the Device properties (in Dolphin) show a capacity of 280,6 GiB (correct). EXPECTED RESULT According to me, Dolphin's "Devices" panel should display 280,6 GiB. Note: the same expected result goes for kdepartitionmanager. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Not sure whether there is a link with Bug 292795 or not (KDE4 at the time).
Sorry for mixing , (comma) and . (dot) in my report for the decimal separator. In French, a comma is used, in English it's a dot :)
Does the size shown in the Devices panel come from Solid?
Hello, it is still a thing in Plasma 6.5?
In Plasma 6.3.6 (I don't have a newer version at hand): - In Dolphin, a device Properties show the right capacity (expressed in GiB). So I consider this part as being FIXED. - In KDE Partitions Manager, the same device still shows a wrong value (greater than what I would expect). Note: I'm now running Debian (compared to 5 years ago), but I don't think it makes any difference.
