Description Ada Baumann 2025-11-21 06:35:15 UTC 
SUMMARY

When Copying and Pasting a file which has a size larger than the remaining space on a CoW (Copy on Write) file system (in my case, btrfs) causes a "There is not enough space on the disk" error. Using "cp -r" from the terminal completes the task without an error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a btrfs file system
2. Fill Filesystem with files, until the remaining space is smaller than a large file or folder on it
3. Copy and Paste the file or folder

OBSERVED RESULT

"There is not enough space on the disk" error is thrown

EXPECTED RESULT

Copying completes successfully, since no significant additional amount of space is being used
