Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

When you scan a folder, baobab cannot descend folders for which it does not have permissions.
However, it is important that baobab signals this event to the user, which it does not.
Moreover, when a scan includes mount points, baobab can estimate how much space it could not scan, by looking at the disk usage in the mount point: baobab should compute this difference and warn the user that it corresponds to space that cannot be scanned.

Regarding to

there is now such information in baobab which ships within GNOME3.6.3

Regarding also to the upstream report status I close this here as fix released.
