Bug Description
Suppose there is a file abc.7z of 551 MB size on pendrive, you'd like to replace it with a new one, same name, same location, size 552 MB. Pendrive reports 353 MB free space, so you have 551+353=904 MB space to copy a 552 MB file. Nautilus refuses to replace this file with a comment "It requires 199 MB more free space to copy". I have to delete the file, then it is possible to copy a new version.
Nautilus should consider current size of file existing on the pendrive when calculating free space required to replace this file. In a terminal cp command replaces the file without a problem.
