Gnome - Size of folder

Hi,

Sorry for my english, i'm french.

When I want to know the folder size via the right click, properties, sometimes I see this issue : the size alway changes and the loading icon stay on the left.

I use ctrl+shift+alt+r in order to screencast this problem :

My Gnome is corrupted and I'll reinstall my OS this weekend, but I'd like to know where the problem is.

Thank you

Re: Gnome - Size of folder

The video isn't much clear, but from what I can see, the size and the number of items keep on increasing and decreasing! This is very strange, and I haven't seen such a behaviour ever.

Just to rule out a problem with your disk or filesystem, I would suggest you use a Live CD with Gnome and see if you encounter the problem again.

You're right, the size and the number of items keep on increasing and decreasing.
I don't think that the problem comes from my disk or filesystem. It appears on both my disks (ssd, hdd), and not every time.

Before to try with a live CD, I will resintall my system.
