Finally took the plunge and installed the 64 bit version of Arch.
Everything seems running fine...however...
Filesystem properties in XFCE4 reports an out of the blue size for my 500gb harddrive.
Is there anything I can do to remedy the problem?
Something that might be related to this is that I had to disable IDE and enable AHCI in BIOS in order to make the Arch-system up and running.

Edit:
Folders /dev, /proc, /lib report 131072,2 gb. All other folders seem okay.
I'm using ext4.

Tried pcmanfm and ' / ' doesn't even show up. If I type ' / ' in the input field it works. But if I choose 'properties' pcmanfm crashes.
Is something seriously wrong with my system?

df -h
output would be more useful here than
fdisk -l
...
That way we can see how and were your partitions are mounted.

Here it goes:
# df -h

udev 10M 192K 9.9M 2% /dev
/dev/disk/by-uuid/5a3d859b-dc11-44b1-a706-220f21231281
29G 3.5G 24G 13% /

/dev/sda1 122M 28M 89M 24% /boot

Please use code tags in your posts. If you don't know how look at your quote of my post (in Edit mode).
Maybe pcmanfm has an issue with the UUID being used for mounting, check if it's the same behaviour when you use the sd? value, if it's still the same, try some other file managers (e.g. thunar) to see if they behave the same way.

Hm. I'm not noticing anything weird in Edit mode.

I actually use Thunar as my main file manager. Tried Pcmanfm just to see if it reports similar numbers.
What is sd?
Edit : I think I get it, you want me to replace the UUID in fstab with sda 1 and so on?

Use [code ] [/code ] around the output that you display (without the spaces of course). Makes for better readability. That is what B was getting at. If you had clicked on Edit on your post # 4, you would have seen the usage of those tags.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

You mean like this?

So you are wondering why your graphical environment is telling you 29GB rather than the 31GB as in df -h for your /?
I am no expert on thunar but would put it down to it rounding.
And what was that about dev and proc? Neither of them should show up as using a significant amount of space but you haven't given us the readout for that anyway - correct?

No, look at my initial post, particularly the printscreen. Thunar reports usage of several hundreds of thousands of gigabytes.
I do not know why dev and proc look the way they do. I have not deviated from the install/ setup recommendations from Archwiki.
I even had the installer partition my drive automatically, except for me adjusting the size.
