File plugin: wrong disk space available on iOS?

[Alberto Pagliarini]

Hi,

I have some issue on iOS trying to allocate more than 140 Mbytes with FIle plugin 1.0.1. I have 10 giga free on device but a QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERROR was thrown

Here the code

var requestBytes = 150 * 1024 * 1024;

window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, requestBytes, function(fs) {

// success callback

}, function (e) {

      // error callback

});

I see that the free space calulated in requestFileSystem method of CDVFile.m results always about 144 Mbytes.

Any idea? How is the free space calculated? Are there some limits for iOS apps? 

Note that on android I haven't any issues.

regards Alberto

I don't see this mentioned on the documentation, but I think I read somewhere that on phonegap apps you don't have to ask for a quota, you always get the max, just use 0.

I ask quota because I want to inform the user if there isn't enough space on the device before the user starts to download files. If you set 0 as size I suppose that the download starts and an error is thrown if the space is exhausted.

I've been testing and it seems you found a bug.
My device have 12GB available and the app says it has 151392256 available, and total memory 1638060032, that makes no sense.

File a bug repport on phonegap's jira web.
