Bug Description

Running Linux Mint 14 CInnamon x64

Clicked on computer, and opened the properties of the hard disk to see how much space I had left.

The system calculated 140 TB's of used space. This should have been GB's, since I am using a 320 gig hard drive.

I expected a true representation of used disk space.

This issue happens always, even after reboot.
