I recently installed Debian wheezy on a Compaq CQ56-115DX notebook 
having a 250 GB hard drive. The Nautilus version is 3.4.2. When I 
right-click on File System and select properties, it shows "248,789 
items, totalling 140.7 TB."

It also shows "Free space: 67.3 GB."  This, however, is approximately 
the free space remaining only on the root ("/") filesystem, not the 
space remaining on the entire disk.  df shows:

/# df -h
Filesystem Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 73G  5.8G   63G   9% /
udev 10M     0   10M   0% /dev
tmpfs 176M  1.8M  174M   2% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/ef0d75d4-7cd2-4839-ba55-b17c7aa067e0 73G  5.8G   63G   
9% /
tmpfs 5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
tmpfs 1.5G  232K  1.5G   1% /run/shm
/dev/sda1 985M   35M  900M   4% /boot
/dev/sda7 118G  3.6G  108G   4% /home
/dev/sda6 34G  234M   32G   1% /usr/local

The disk is partitioned as

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *        2048     2050047     1024000   83  Linux
/dev/sda2         2052094   488396799   243172353    5  Extended
/dev/sda5         2052096   155652095    76800000   83  Linux
/dev/sda6       155654144   227334143    35840000   83  Linux
/dev/sda7       227336192   477192191   124928000   83  Linux
/dev/sda8       477194240   488396799     5601280   82  Linux swap / Solaris

with /boot on sda1, /root on sda5, and the other parts of the filesystem 
as shown above. Should not the "Free Space" be shown for the entire disk 
at this point?
