*** Bug 240863 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 369610 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Recently, I ran into a full root partition problem (due to openSUSE's snapper tool). I changed the product of this ticket from "kde" to "plasmashell", because "Free Space Notifier" is listed in "Background Services" which is a System Settings Module. *** Bug 384394 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Feel free to give it a test: https://phabricator.kde.org/D29770 Git commit 97e843d3ead33fc8f376fe08040fa1f923b831e6 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 18/05/2020 at 11:21. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. [Free Space Notifer] Use critical notification instead of tray icon and monitor Root, too This refactors the free space notifier module to use a critical (i.e. persistent and always on top) notification for warning of low disk space. The, albeit blinking, tray icon is easy to miss, especially when you're running a full screen terminal, which I typically do while compiling stuff. It now also monitors the Root folder, if it's on a separate partition from the user's home. Furthermore, Filelight is offered to explore the drive (if installed). The overall warning logic remains pretty much the same: * Once the drive goes below the configured threshold a warning notification is shown, it stays on screen until dismissed by the user or when free space is above warning threshold again. * The notification is emitted again when free space drops below half the previous threshold, for added sense of urgency should the drive be rapidly filled up * The notification is also emitted again if free space remains below the threshold for more than one hour (It will only emit again when it was closed, obviously, so you won't end up with a tonne of popups after a few hours ;) I don't think this needs to be separately configurable for Home and Root, since the default threshold is like 200 MiB (it's not a configured percentage), so the absolute free space it warns about will be the same, even if your Home is giant compared to Root.
