--- Comment #2 from Andre Miranda <andreldm at xfce.org> ---
If you open the "/" folder properties it will report the correct size.
The culprit seems to be /proc/kcore, it confuses even ls:
ls -lh kcore
-r-------- 1 root root 128T fev 13 21:31 kcore

Nemo claims to have solved the problem in:
https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/1050

But if one selects a couple of folders, including /proc, their properties
dialog will still report the wrong size, just like Thunar (Nautilus displays
the same behavior).

I think that we should either live with it or hard-code a workaround for this
single file (I don't like this).
