Upgraded from SL to Lion on a 2011 27" iMac...Was browsing around Lion and noticed that it doesn't break down all my files on my HD or any other device. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to fix this so I can see how much of what I have on the HD?
Got a tip for us?

Try zapping your PRAM
Hi i have been reading this thread and notched the problem you are having. Try zapping your PRAM every once and a wile. You will need to restart your mac and hold down the Command+Option+P+R while rebooting this should reset the clock in the battery and fix it all up. Please let me know how it goes.

If it's not turned off, what you can do to rebuild the database is add the drive as one to not be indexed and tyhen after a minute rmeove it form the Privacy list. Reference: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes
