Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2025-07-22 14:17:23 UTC
Finally I have found the cause. I have some file shares mounted with autofs. When Filelight starts to scan /, these shares are mounted and their data are reported by Filelight, The bug does not occur if Filelight scans / while the computer is disconnected from the network.
