Subject: baobab: Fails to handle (recursive) bind mounts

Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2006 21:11:59 +0100

Package: baobab
Version: 2.4.2-1.1+b1
Severity: important

I store chroots of Debian Sid/Sarge within my home directory (in
/home/rhertzog/local/chroot/{sarge,unstable}). And since I often work in
those chroot I use "bind mount" to share the /home directory between the
chroots and the main system (/).

$ mount
/dev/hda6 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/hda7 on /home type ext3 (rw,commit=0)
/etc on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/unstable/etc/.host type none (rw,bind)
/home on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/unstable/home type none (rw,bind)
/tmp on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/unstable/tmp type none (rw,bind)
/dev on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/unstable/dev type none (rw,bind)
/etc on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/sarge/etc/.host type none (rw,bind)
/home on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/sarge/home type none (rw,bind)
/tmp on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/sarge/tmp type none (rw,bind)
/dev on /home/rhertzog/local/chroot/sarge/dev type none (rw,bind)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)

Now I'm a bit short on space and wanted to use baobab to see which
directories use the most space. But I stopped its scan once it
was scanning the content of "/home/rhertzog/local/chroot/unstable/home"
which is another way to access /home... and obviously the result would
have been wrong because it would have counted some files twice.

I asked baobab to scan the folder "/home/rhertzog" when I did this.

Subject: baobab: bind mount results in wrong values

Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 21:13:52 +0100

Package: baobab
Version: 2.4.2-1.1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #398288


I have a similar problem. I have a hard disk from another host mounted on /srv/slash/hda2/home and a bind mount from it to /home.
There are also other bind mounts to have the data accessible where it
belongs, some of them are under the same /srv tree.

Because of that, many size informations are wrong. The total storage space
in my system is reported as 569 GB, where this 160 GB hard disk is
counted three times. Besides, on a directory which is mounted under
/srv/slash/hda2/data and bound to /srv/data/, every file is counted
twice.

I hope there is a nice way to find out if a directory is on a
bind-mounted filesystem and this can be worked around. Great piece of
software by the way!

Regards, Andre

Subject: baobab has been removed from Debian, closing #398288

Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 14:27:50 +0100

Version: 2.4.2-1.1+rm

The baobab package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/424139 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
