1 Hi,
2
3 I have the KDE plasma device notifier that shows always 1.2GB of free
4 space on all USB disks (HDD or flash drives). Such issue does not happen
5 on internals SATA HDD / SDD. This issue also prevents me to copy files
6 bigger then 1.2GB to any mounted USB disk using dolphin (but I can copy
7 the same big files using "cp" in konsole, and I can copy files smaller
8 than 1.2GB with dolphin). I'm sure it did not happen some months ago.

11 I tried with three different USB drives and the behavior is the same:
12
13 �- 4GB flash drive on USB2 interface, vfat formatted, 3.3GB free
14 �- 128GB flash drive on USB3 interface, exfat formatted, 107GB free
15 �- 500GB external HDD on USB2 interface, ext4 formatted, 468GB free

17 The device notifier always shows 1.2GB of free space and I cannot copy
18 big files with dolphin to the USB disk.

21 I have kde-plasma 5.11.4 and� kde-framework 5.41.0 installed, but the
22 issue happened also with kde-plasma 5.10.5 and kde-framework 5.40.0.
