details -> overview disk size includes network mounts

[Terry]

[Impact]: it's a stable GNOME updated include a fix for disk space calculation being wrong
[Development Fix] the new version is in quantal: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/1:3.4.2-0ubuntu1
[Stable Fix] that's a bug fix update from upstream

[Test Case]
look to the disk stats in the system settings on a system with NFS mounts
1) Go to system settings
2) Choose Details in the System section
3) Ensuring 'Overview' is chosen look at the Disk size and ensure it does not include nfs or other network mount points

[Regression Potential] the change concerns the info section of system setting, the regression potential is to have disk space computation wrong in case it was not before in that dialog (i.e purely informational, nothing rely on that)

The disk size in details -> overview appears to include network mounts such as NFS in 12.04
(I can't recall if it did this in previous versions).

Is this the correct behaviour or should it exclude network mounts?

My disk size says 199.7 GB however fdisk shows the disk as being 250GB. Naturally, since it is less no nfs mounts are showing up.

[Terry (terry-kryogenic)]

My hdd is 300GB, NFS totals about 450GB and as a result 790GB is usually reported as the disk size (with 40GB taken from somewhere, I don't know what). The interesting thing happens when I umount the NFS shares then the disk size is suddenly reported as 1.3TB. Something not quite right here :)

If it weren't so late I would take a look. Maybe in the morning.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, information regarding the development fix, a test case and details regarding the regression potential. Thanks in advance!

@Brian: is the summary matching what you expect?
