--- Comment #1 from John Kizer <john.kizer at proton.me> ---
I can reproduce a version of this on my system - the size calculated for / is
many times higher than the actual space taken, although it's not 1,024 times
higher - in fact, it's close to the size reported in your screenshot (mine was
129.4 TiB), despite my mounted filesystems having a total of 1.6 TiB of space
used.

Keep in mind the free space chart at the bottom of that window is only going to
be for the filesystem on which / is mounted, while if you have multiple
filesystems mounted, there will be more files and more size occupied by the
total contents of files under / - for example, I have /mnt/usbdrivename, which
is its own filesystem, but files on it would presumably be totaled up if
everything under / were being added. Perhaps it's more confusing than anything
to even allow calculating a total size for / ?

(By the way, if this issue was experienced in December 2024, you may need to
check your Arch repository setup - 24.08.3 was the latest Dolphin version in
the Arch repositories as of the time this bug was filed, and your system info
indicates your kernel/Plasma/other packages are significantly outdated as well)
