Comment 8 for bug 793534

I have another version of this problem: my NAS shows the free space of the entire volume, but still enforces the quota I set for backups, so deja-dup sees lots of free space and doesn't delete old backups, but when it starts uploading it is refused and exits with the "no space left" error message.

gvfs-info -f smb://backup@diskstation/Backup/
attributes:
  filesystem::size: 979736653824
  filesystem::free: 205893955584
  filesystem::type: cifs
  filesystem::readonly: FALSE
  gvfs::backend: smb-share

As you can see, the NAS is a synology diskstation (which doesn't allow me to resize volumes, so I'm stuck here). It would be cool if deja-dup deletes the old backups when it has an upload error instead of relying only on the free space.

I'm running deja-dup 22.0 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit.
