Bug Description
[Impact]
Nautilus and Baobab
This is relatively low impact but it is annoying for Nautilus or Baobab to report incorrect information for file size and file count. In the case of /, the information reported is off by ~100 terabytes.
[Test Case]
There may be a simpler test case, but I have way too many small files on my computer in my Ubuntu development folders for me to want to wait for Nautilus to count everything in /
1. mkdir -p nautilus-test/proc
2. cd nautilus-test
3. Create a file named hello.txt with the text "Hello, world!"
4. sudo mount --bind /proc proc
5. Open nautilus to the nautilus-test directory
6. Right-click and select Properties.
7. Nautilus should say there are 2 files taking up a few bytes. If it says there is several TB of files in the folder, this bug isn't fixed.
[Regression Potential]
The patch, which has been accepted into nautilus master, only affects filesize and file count information.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can see the used space increasing then it jumped to 128.2 TB.
The recommended tool to visualize disk usage is the Disk Usage Analyzer (in Applications > Accessories menu).
