Re: "other files" growing over 4BiBs
Please note this outstanding bug about the Other files size reported being
much larger than it really is.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1524424

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1454444
Net result is Other should not be significant when these are fixed.
Cheers
Pat
