OS: Fedora 33
Yes. I know. Linux is Windows
But, I have a quick question on viewing high level info (used space, free space) of disks attached to my PC from Gnome GUI.
For example, in my Dual boot laptop, when I attach my old portable Hard Drive, it shows up in MS Windows > This PC (used to be called My Computer back in the day, I think) . Since I am a new askfedora user I can upload only one image in a post. So, the screenshot of âThis PCâ output will be shown in the next post.
Microsoft WIndowsâs âThis PCâ GUI quickly shows that my portable HDD has a total storage space of 149 GB and only 4.94 GB is free (see my next post to see the screenshot)
But, in Fedora Gnone, when I click on â+ Other Locationsâ button, I see the below. Of course, I can right click on âWD Passportâ and get the details. But, donât we have an equivalent of GUI output of MS Windows âThis PCâ (My computer) as shown above ?
Plus, in the â+ Other Locationsâ GUI ouput, I donât even know what 73.4 GB/107.3 GB available shown under âComputerâ means. Iâve allocated more than 770GB GB of disk space across various filesystems for fedora as you can see in the df and lsblk outputs below.
My HP Omen laptop has the following specs:
256GB NVME SSD drive (But only 238 GB available)
1TB Mechanical SATA drive
16GB RAM
Its a dual boot. The laptop came with Windows 10 Home OEM installed and I installed Fedora 33 as dual boot.
df and lsblk outputs from Fedora shown below.
