PCManFM seems to give me wrong folder properties (size of root)
by derezion from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6N3JB)
I looked up the Folder properties in PCManFM of my root on Crostini (Debian 12 "bookworm" environment on ChromeOS), and it says:
Total size of files: 256.0 TiB
Size on disk: 3.4 GiB
The second number seems reasonable since my Chromebook has a 32 GB eMMC for storage and I gave 10 GB to Debian, but I can't explain the first number.
I don't even know what is meant by TiB. If PCManFM, my file manager for the Linux environment on my Chromebook, means 256 terabytes that doesn't make sense. If it means 256 tebibytes or something that might be 32 gigs according to my calculation, but that doesn't make sense either because I only gave Linux 10 gigs.
