Except that inside of Nautilus, we explicitly check for space before
doing the move (see nautilus-file-operations.c:verify_destination()) by
querying the file system, so that we're sure we have space to complete
the move and we don't have to abort midway through. Fundamentally, the
filesystem is fubar if it can't tell us whether or not it has free
space. We could special case it inside of Nautilus (check specifically
for this filesystem and skip the space verification) or GIO (make it so
that query_fs_info() always return MAX_UINT64 free space such that no
copy/move will ever fail here) or wherever, but it's a very nasty hack,
as a billion times to one, if the filesystem returns 0 for free space,
it means "I have no space left".
