Incorrect disk space reported on Mac Catalina

[Deamon1234]

Hi, I am having issues with disk space since upgrading to Catalina. I have about 300GB free on my internal drive but Sabnzdb reports out of disk space.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "cherrypy/_cprequest.pyc", line 663, in respond
File "cherrypy/_cpreqbody.pyc", line 989, in process
File "cherrypy/_cpreqbody.pyc", line 558, in process

File "cherrypy/_cpreqbody.pyc", line 700, in read_lines_to_boundary
IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device

Anyone seen this, Sabnzdb has full access to my drive so its 100% NOT a permission thing.

Just to add to this, i added an external drive. That works fine, so this is an issue of reporting an internal drive size.

This error is reported by the OS.
So this part of the code seems to be triggered when uploading an NZB, not the actual download process. When you upload an NZB it's first stored in a temporary folder, provided by your OS after which it's imported by SAB. It could be that Catalina is more strict on this?
In the logging it will write where this temporary directory is, usually somewhere in your OS disk.

Its only related to the internal system drive. I have connected an external drive and the issue does not happen. Even if I create APFS volume it still reports no disk space when there is over 300 GB.

Again, this is not some check we do. It's the lower level system code that tells us it can't write files because the disk is full. No higher level special checks, just low level IO error.. We can't do anything about that.
