STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Mount a ramfs
2. Copy a file from a regular volume to the ramfs
3. Dolphin will report the error from the title.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 only using the command line, it copies fine.
5. Repear steps 1-2 using another file manager, it also copies fine.

The bug is dolphin. I would imagine it has something to do with the properties of the ramfs drive not having a fixed space.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin will not copy the file

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin will copy the file as expected.
