--- Comment #1 from Pedro V <voidpointertonull+bugskde...@gmail.com> ---
There isn't even a need for wrong free space reporting, I ran into the
frustrating lack of this feature in a different context.
Wanted to update a large directory with rsync, but desired to have a backup
first both for safety and for checking differences later. Given that I'm using
Btrfs, I opted to (ab)use CoW by doing a "ghetto backup" by just simply copying
the whole directory as reflinks are quite cheap. Problem was that Krusader
figured that I don't have the hundreds of GiBs of free space it would take to
make a copy without reflinks, so it just didn't let me do that.
Bonus:
It's sometimes undesired to go through the files to begin with as that could
introduce a large delay before starting to do the desired copy operation, and
if that's not done, then there's obviously no checking for space.
If I remember well I observed these solutions in Total Commander:
- The free space problem could be just ignored as it's requested here
- The initial enumeration of files could be interrupted so the user could get
rid of the extra feature conveniently
- The initial enumeration of files could be completely disabled
