/C: is only Windows 7, no data at all. All user temp data, Win and Suse, point to /C:/Tmp. All userdata, Win and Suse, point to /D:, no exception and not things all over the place. 10.5GiB of 24.6GiB free on /C:, 35.6GiB of 403.8GiB free on /D:, same values in Opensuse and in Windows. The machine is a HP Pavilion with an Intel Duo 3750 at 2.0GHz, 4GiB memory and 490GiB HD. There are two DELL PCs with Intel 4-cores at 3GHz that have the same dual system installed as this laptop, but I risk not playing around on them as they are directly running a few client's microprocessor systems. I don't remember whether I ran into this on those ever before. Ad 2) from my first comment: I played around a bit here and tried to find a possible causal connection, but so far no indication. If in / I run Properties for /C: I get the right device usage but with size of 6B and 0 files. However, sometimes in the same session nothing at all is indicated there for size and when I then click Calculate, I get a size indication of 128TiB (I wish) and a few million files. If in / I run Properties on /D: I sometimes get the device usage figures from /C: (10.5 and 24.6); when I then open /D:, it only shows me two or three text files. If Properties starts with calculating, it gives me the real device usage, and opening /D: then indeed gives me also the real content. With all this, there is no difference whether this is done in the left or the right window of Dolphin. linux-22l1:~ # KDE_FORK_SLAVES=1 QT_LOGGING_RULES=*.debug=true kioclient5 ls /C: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' qt.qpa.screen: Output VGA-0 is not connected qt.qpa.screen: Output HDMI-0 is not connected qt.qpa.screen: adding QXcbScreen(0x5633df774ee0, name="LVDS", geometry=1366x768+0+0, availableGeometry=1366x768+0+0, devicePixelRatio=1.0, logicalDpi=QPair(96.1,96.1), physicalSize=361.0x203.0mm, screenNumber=0, virtualSize=1366x768 (1366.0x768.0mm), orientation=Qt::ScreenOrientation(LandscapeOrientation), depth=24, refreshRate=59.0, root=5cf, windowManagerName="KWin") (Primary: true ) qt.qpa.screen: primary output is "LVDS" qt.qpa.input.devices: XInput version 2.2 is available and Qt supports 2.2 or greater qt.qpa.input.devices: input device Virtual core XTEST pointer ID 4 qt.qpa.input.devices: has 10 buttons qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel X" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Y" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: it's a scrolling device qt.qpa.input.devices: input device Logitech USB Receiver ID 10 qt.qpa.input.devices: has 20 buttons qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel X" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Y" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Horiz Scroll" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Vert Scroll" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: it's a scrolling device qt.qpa.input.devices: input device Logitech USB Receiver ID 11 qt.qpa.input.devices: has 7 buttons qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel X" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Y" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Horiz Scroll" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Vert Scroll" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: it's a scrolling device qt.qpa.input.devices: input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad ID 14 qt.qpa.input.devices: has 7 buttons qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel X" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Y" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Horiz Scroll" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: has valuator "Rel Vert Scroll" recognized? true qt.qpa.input.devices: it's a scrolling device qt.qpa.gl: Choosing xcb gl-integration based on following priority ("xcb_glx", "xcb_egl") qt.qpa.gl: Xcb GLX gl-integration created qt.qpa.gl: Xcb GLX gl-integration successfully initialized QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' trying to load "/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so" from "/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kf5/kio/file.so" . ..
