Using find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec du -h {} + | sort --human-numeric-sort --reverse from https://askubuntu.com/questions/743946/showing-file-sizes-in-sorted-order I get some file sizes that do not match up to what Nautilus shows. This does not seem like a rounding issue either when I compare files of various sizes. Am I right/wrong in that understanding? If right, then any thoughts on the mismatch?
@carmar I cannot answer your question but I am convinced I have seen size differences between Nautilus, Disk Analyser and Disks. In my case whilst checking free space/occupied space in root.
@carmar. I would hardly call my observation a solution
Maybe someone else may know the answer why Nautilus differs when reporting disk/folder size info?
You did answer #1. There is a mismatch. I don’t expect the origin of every problem to be determined. Any additional information on it helps.
As for #2, I decided to try it myself and see if I could figure it out. As I walked through the steps on that thread I found that my sources.list didn’t have any urls for the nautilus source. I got lazy and gave up
