Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: baobab

While trying to trackdown where my disk usage went, I noticed some
inaccurate reporting by baobab.

before-scanning.png reports the same usage as the output of df, but
after-scanning.png shows approximately 40 GB missing.  It's showing
'home' as only 8.5GB of use, as below, you'll see my home is using 47GB
according to 'du'

'df' output (cruft removed):

dcla...@ubuntu-image:~$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              71G   59G  8.0G  89% /

and, the trail of where some of the unaccounted usage is (again, cruft
removed):

r...@ubuntu-image:/# du -sh *
47G     home

r...@ubuntu-image:/home# du -sh *
45G     dclarke

r...@ubuntu-image:/home/dclarke# du -sh *
29G     Workspace
