nautilus ignores quota-full messages

[Alexander Fieroch]

I'm trying to copy large files (100GB) to a remote server mounted by cifs and having user quota. I'm getting quota warning messages when my soft and hard quota is full.

Here is what nautilus does:
nautilus is still copying the file after the hard quota is reached. While windows breaks the copy action, deletes the partial file and I'm getting a warning message from the server, nautilus seems to ignore the servers "quota full" error. I'm getting up to ten quota warning messages per second while nautilus continues to copy the file. Watching the file size on the server confirms that the file size is still growing even though the hard quota is full. Immediately after finishing the copy action the file is cut down to the size that just fits the hard quota.

What nautilus should do:
Aboard the copy action after getting a quota full error from the server and let the user decide whether to keep or to remove the partial file.

Perhaps somebody can try to reproduce it? I was using a backup server whose file system I don't know.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

any news about this? did you sent the bug upstream? may you tell us the bug number there?

[Marcus Carlson (0-launchpad-mejlamej-nu)]

Pedro, no this is not reported upstream. As Sebastien wrote; somebody having this problem should report it upstream and update this bug with that bug number.

I've reported this issue upstream and am setting the status to Triaged to indicate that the triaging for this bug has been done. It's now up to the GNOME developers, or a volunteer reading this and willing to write a patch.
