Title:
Usage/freespace of "filesystem" neglects concept of per partion usage
more important (esp. /home)
Status in baobab package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: baobab
Baobab 2.26.0
Ubuntu 9.04
gnome-utils:
Installed: 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 2.26.0-0ubuntu1
Version table:

Baobab reports usage on per directory structure basis (and refers to it as
"filesystem") and not potentially more important per partition basis.
Use case: John has a separate partition mounted for his home directory
and it is almost full, but as baobab composites the usage report from
all partitions mounted below /, and so it appears that he has plenty
of room available for his photos whereas in reality, the free space is
located in another(/the root) partition.
Solution: When a particular folder is selected, an additional usage
report for the partition hosting that folder should be shown.
This seems to have been discussed and "fixed" back in 2.19.90-0ubuntu1 in
early 2008 here:

But either it has regressed or has not really relieved the issue.
