Available disk space not reporting correctly after Recovery Update

Anyone else having issues with their mac reporting the wrong disk space available after updating April 9th for the Recovery Update 1.0?

I have a MacAir and at the bottom of the folders now it reports that I have 140.74TB available!! While this would be awesome I know its a fluke. Opening the "about this mac" above you see I only have 28.19gb. Not sure if anyone else has this issue and if maybe the update just changed a setting or something.

(what it shows at the bottom of finder)

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Try these steps.

First, boot your Mac to Safe Mode: OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Then reboot your Mac normally and force Spotlight to re-index your OS partition: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
