Ubuntu – How to use Disk Usage Analyzer with encypted home (.Private/ECRYPTFS)

disk-usageecryptfs

When I run Disk Usage Analyzer (Baobab) and click on the first option (/), I get this:

Disk Usage Analyzer ecryptfs

All names are like ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.xyz.

QUESTION: How to get the real names?

Best Answer

This inconvenience only happens if you click on the first option (/). To avoid this:

  1. Run Disk Usage Analyzer
  2. Click on the last option (Home folder)

This will show disk usage for your home folder only, but with the human-readable names.
