Using rtm 65, it has been reported that the free space, as currently displayed, is not correct.
The category includes the space on all partitions,but it seems that the most interesting information is the space available for applications&data, so the space on the user partition only (said different "there is space available on the ro system partition that is counted as free but shouldn't")
Note that if we change the "free space" computation, to do what is described before, the total is not going to match the categories so we need tweaks to what is taken into account and how. One solution in that case would be to count the "free space on the system partition" as "Used by Ubuntu" |

summary |
The storage design lacks specifics on the categories |
In Storage, some "Free space" isn't available to the end user |
