Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse/issues/1982

Perhaps I'm missing something simple here but here goes.

Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version)

Amazon Simple Storage Service File System V1.91

Version of fuse being used (pkg-config --modversion fuse, rpm -qi fuse, dpkg -s fuse)

$ pkg-config --modversion fuse
2.9.7

GNU/Linux Distribution, if applicable (cat /etc/os-release)

Macos Big Sur 11.6.7

Details about issue

In finder the status bar shows 1MB of free space when I'm browsing the S3 bucket. If I try to copy a file (50MB or so) into the folder it spends some time preparing and then I get this error
The item “myfilename” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space.

It seems that there needs to be some kind of cache for writes on the Mac machine? The bucket has plenty of space for this.

I have a similar issue. df -h command shows the following (note that the volume size is 1MB):

Filesystem       Size   Used  Avail Capacity iused       ifree %iused  Mounted on
...
s3fs@macfuse3   1.0Mi    0Bi  1.0Mi     0%       0           0  100%   /some/mount/point

Is there any way to manually adjust the volume size?

@WGandy @suminb I'm sorry for late reply.
I uploaded the fix in #2037.
I think the corrections for sizes you can see by df command are fixed in this PR.
If you can, please build the code in that PR and give it a try.

The PR code will be reviewed and then merged into master.
