Description lnie 2023-09-15 09:14:08 UTC
Boot f39 installer,create a system which has /home on btrfs volume,try to occupy the /home space(I used scp),you will find the warning message pops up about one minute later,during that time,without aware of it,user may do some space-eating things,and run into  a mess 

Reproducible: Always

Propose as a Final FE as it might cause data loss.Besides,it kind of violates :https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_39_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_application_functionality

The low space notification comes from gnome-settings-daemon. Reassigning to gnome-settings-daemon.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2023-09-25 18:19:11 UTC
how does this relate to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2238985 ? Does this bug *cause* that bug - that is, because the notification appears late, you occupied more space during the delay, so that the system was almost unusable? Or are they different?

Thanks!

Discussed during the 2023-09-25 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedFreezeException (Final)" was made as we don't see how an FE would benefit versus a 0-day update here; typically if you're running out of disk space it would be after using the system for a while, not immediately after install.

Nope,I occupied the disk using scp, the gnome-disk warning message didn't pop up until ~1 minute after the scp command failed.
And I think users may do some space eating thing without knowing that they are already run out of space,and that maybe cause some data loss.
