Description Jonathan Adamczewski 2004-11-28 22:18:50 UTC 
If (for example) a nfs share is mounted at /mnt/nfs the free space reported by
Nautilus in the status bar at the bottom of the window and the properties dialog
is incorrect (less than what it should be).

This affects copying files into /mnt/nfs with nautilus - if the size of the
files to be copied is greater than the incorrectly reported free space then
nautilus will not allow the copy to occur.
Comment 1 Sebastien Bacher 2004-12-11 10:05:48 UTC 
A bug has been opened here about this: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/4596

"The nautilus status bar reports a wrong value for the free-space on nfs mounts.

This on the client:

tris.gervystar.net:/home/gervystar/share/  14G  7,5G  6,4G  55% /mnt/filer

on the server:

/dev/hda8              14G  7.5G  6.4G  55% /home

Nautilus reports 810MB of free space instead."

this freespace calculation also affects copying or moving files to such mounted
directory. if the nautilus shows that the freespace is less the the size of the
file to copy on to the nfs mount then copying is refused with a 'not enough free
space on destination' error, while df shows enough space and cp-ing the same
file work fine.

Comment 7 Kevin Breit 2005-07-16 13:11:55 UTC 
This issue seems to work fine for me.  Of course, I have a relatively simple
mount.  Both of my systems are showing 2.6G free.  Has this been fixed?
Comment 8 Jonathan Adamczewski 2005-07-16 13:37:22 UTC 
It appears to be fixed afaict.  My setup is not the same as it used to be, but
the nfs mounts I have appear to have available space reported correctly in nautilus.

thanks for your comments, I'm closing the bug. Feel free to reopen if you get
the issue again.
