Krusader and Dolphin apparently use KIO/core/KDiskFreeSpaceInfo::freeSpaceInfo to get free space of a certain filesystem/path. As reported in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415512 this is reporting errors when there is sufficient capacity available on the drive as it is "just" unallocated - also on a half full disk. It might be an Kernel or API issue with sys/statvfs not really knowing or guaranteeing the free space on BTRFS. Other filesystems with late allocation or delayed allocation might experience similar problems. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. copying files with Krusader or Dolphin 2. observe error popup EXPECTED RESULT successful copy SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.4 Kernel/ KDE Plasma Version:5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0 Qt Version: 5.14.0 Copying on commandline works as expected df <path> ouputs 0 space left btrfs fi usage <path> Overall: Device size: 7.28TiB Device allocated: 7.21TiB Device unallocated: 69.00GiB Device missing: 7.28TiB Used: 7.15TiB Free (estimated): 130.37GiB (min: 95.87GiB) Data ratio: 1.00 Metadata ratio: 2.00 Global reserve: 512.00MiB (used: 0.00B) Data,single: Size:7.19TiB, Used:7.13TiB (99.17%) Metadata,DUP: Size:8.00GiB, Used:7.81GiB (97.64%) System,DUP: Size:8.00MiB, Used:784.00KiB (9.57%)
