I had a similar occurrence on Fedora 40 (kde interface) with Digikam
8.4. There was no connection issue but received same KDE warning
that home partition free space was approaching zero. Being fairly
new to Linux, I was unsure how to troubleshoot. Eventually tried to
reboot and Fedora would not boot due to lack of free space. Booted
into Mint(Cinnamon) and removed Fedora partition. Have stayed with
Mint for the time being and, so far, DK 8.4 is working fine. Not
sure if Digikam or OS caused the error. <br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Yesterday I had an instance of Digikam (8.2.0) on <span
style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">Ubuntu 22.04.4
LTS (Kubuntu) crash due to lost NFS connection to the albums,
or lost database connection, I don't remember which it was. I
got a pop-up notification that it had crashed, with an option
to leave closed or restart. I left it closed.<br>
<br>
That evening I saw a KDE warning that my /home partition was
at 100%. I found the .xsession-errors file in my home
directory had grown to 414GB. I also discovered a running
process of Digikam, using 100% of a single CPU core. I killed
the process, and removed the .xsession-errors file, but the
disk space was not reclaimed, possibly due to a stale open
file handle somewhere. I had to reboot to recover the disk
space.<br>
<br>
I was unable to capture the error messages in the
.xsession-errors file, but I recall that it was completely
filled with something related to "invalid socket" and the word
"exiting". My recollection may not be accurate to be useful.
I realize I'm running an older version of Digikam, but wanted
to bring up the situation in case it could also happen with
8.4.<br>
<br>
Thanks for a great photo management application.<br>
