            Bug ID: 462319
           Summary: Allow dolphin to proceed even if no space is available
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.08.3
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

When copying/moving a file/folder there are currently cases where dolphin
thinks the file/folder can't be copied/moved because it thinks there is no
available space.

Case 1 - use a btrfs filesystem
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have disk with for example 10GB free space
2. Create a copy of file that is larger than 10GB

Case 2 - use an sftp mount, with more than one disk on remote side. Dolphin (or
sftp protocol perhaps) displays only the free space of main disk on remote
side, not the sub mounts
1. Have a remote machine with let's say 10GB free space on / partition, and
another disk, with for example 100GB free space, mounted on /mnt (on remote
side)
2. Copy a file larger than 10GB to /mnt on remote machine

OBSERVED RESULT
In both of those cases dolphin refuses to copy/move file/folder, because it
thinks the operation cannot be completed successfully.
But btrfs uses copy on write, so it doesn't actually need to copy the
file/folder at all, it only reflinks them.
In sftp case, the file/folder can be copied into the /mnt of remote machine,
because there is more free space there, then on / filesystem.

EXPECTED RESULT
This is a feature request, I would like to be able to have a dialog with error
that says "No available space", and a button "Continue anyway", or something
like that. Basically an ability to override the error about no space left.
