pcmanfm: cut & paste a folder to a full external drive will produce data loss

[Luca Borrione]

1. insert a usb pendrive (I used one formatted with reiserfs) and fill it up.

2. create somewhere else, for example in your desktop, a temp folder with a a medium file in it (I used an avi file of ~ 500Mb)
(the drive in which my home is stored is formatted in ext3)

3. using pcmanfm cut the temp folder & paste it to the filled usb-drive (which means right-click on the temp folder and choose cut and then right-click somewhere inside the usb-drive and choose paste)

4. the cut&paste process will start but soon will stop with a window popping up saying something as
"The file operation is finished, but there are some errors
Error creating directory: No space left on device"
(I'm using a localized version so I translated this message and might be different in your system)

5. only an empty folder is created on the target usb-drive while the original temp folder will be already removed with all its content resulting in a data loss.

The above procedure was completed using pcmanfm 0.9.9 on lubuntu oneiric

this bug is fixed in pcmanfm 0.9.10 on lubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-24
