Free space on mounted SSHFS systems
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED

Description Hugo Osvaldo Barrera 2014-04-01 05:40:53 CEST
I've noticed huge discrepancies between reported free space (in thunar), and actual free space on SSHFS mounted filesystems.

The space thunar show is noticibly higher than the actual free space:

$ df -h .
Filesystem                    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
dav@hades.barrera.io:/Series  1.9T  1.8T   74G  96% /home/hugo/videos/Shows

(Note less than 1GB free)
(Yes, it's sshfs even though the username is dav)

However, the status bar when looking at /home/hugo/videos/Shows says:
"5 items, Free space: 634.2GB".

About an hour ago, I also noticed that the free space was ~40GB, and thunar reported > 900GB free.

The space reported on the remote system is pretty much the same:

$ df -h .
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd2a      1.8T    1.7T   72.2G    96%    /var/dav/files/Series


I understand the discrepancies when running "du" (less than 1G, less than 0.1%), but the difference between thunar and du is too much (~1000%, > 600G).

This happens for me with another 3T large sshfs mounts as well. The reported free space is proportional to the real free space, but always off by ~10x.
