What version of WinBoat are you running?

0.8.7

Your Environment

Linux Distro: NixOS
Desktop Environment: i3
FreeRDP: not sure, can check, but irrelevant

Steps to Reproduce / Context

I have / mounted as tmpfs which is only allotted 4 GB. I instead have very specific directories that are mounted to my persistent storage.

While giving Winboat the install location for a Windows VM, it appends winboat to the directory path that I give it. So, I chose a parent directory of ~/.local/state/ for the resulting dir to be ~/.local/state/winboat/. But Winboat complains about disk space, which is only 3 GB remaining in ~/.local/state/ but there's >200 GB available in ~/.local/state/winboat/.

The disk space complaint seems like a bug since why check the parent directory? I'm assuming it's because Winboat assumes the appended winboat dir to not exist yet so it can't really check for the amount of available disk space within it. But this breaks in my environment and would love to see a fix :)

Logs

nothing relevant

Expected Behavior

Check the disk space of the resultant directory after appending winboat to the install path.

Current Behavior

Checks the parent directory's available disk space.

Possible Solution

I'm not sure. I'm fairly certain that Winboat doesn't check the resultant directory's disk space because it assumes it to not have been created. Changing this behaviour would be a non-trivial change on expectations.
