2829	Loss of data on copy to full partition	onlyjob	andrew_b	"To reproduce:

1. Copy file(s) to ext4 partition until there is no more free space left.
2. When no more space left choose small file around 7K in size and try to copy it.
3. When dialog ""No space left on device (28)"" appears, choose ""Skip"".
4. The same dialog may appear again - choose ""Skip"" one more time.
5. Observe empty (zero-size) file being created in destination.

If copying many files to partition with no free space, choosing ""Skip All"" may lead to weird condition when copying seemingly continue after filling all the space in partition but leaving zero-size files behind. (Consequences of move may be devastating) 

Another manifestation of this problem is when you're editing the file on full partition with mcedit and add text to the beginning of file it may be trimmed to 4096 bytes and loose its tail on save.
