Hi Pirmin,

The shared folder mounted in to the virtual machine of sculpt always reports the following data to the df command in the VM:

size: 512M free: 512M used: 0

Because of this the file manager will not copy any files larger than 512M to the shared Folder, on the console it is possible though.

This is caused by our libc VFS backend that can't reason about size and available space of the union-mount like file system. The implementation of fstatfs() always returns 0 values and MNT_UNION. VirtualBox in turn can't handle this, so we adapted statfs() in

https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/repos/ports/src/virtualbox/...

to return either sane return values of fstatvfs() or a file system with 128K blocks of 4K block size. For your issue it may be an option to change this value to be configurable (at runtime at best).
