Error when scanning

26.

When scanning you might see a message <gui>Could not scan /… or some of the folders it contains</gui> at the top of <app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> window. This error appears because you don't have the required permissions to access some files due to restrictions set on the target system. The files you can't access won't be used to compute the <link xref="pref-view-chart">chart</link> representing the disk usage, hence the result reported may be wrong.

27.

Not having access to all files and directories is perfectly common though, so there is nothing you can do about this error.

28.

<app>Disk Usage Analyzer</app> uses command <cmd>du</cmd> to create the detailed view of the use of storage, and needs you have read permission on files and execute permission of directories.

29.

On the other hand, filesystem disk usage uses the command <cmd>df</cmd> which relies on the filesystem and not on file permissions.

Scanning a folder or a remote location is slow.

Scanning is slow

32.

The time required to scan a folder or a remote location depends on the speed of the media you're scanning. For instance a mechanical hard drive will be slower than a SSD, and scanning a remote directory over Internet will generally take longer than scanning a folder over a local network.

33.

The speed also depends on the depth of the directory structure and the number of files stored.
