Public bug reported:
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.
