False positive "Insufficient space: 0.0GB available" with ~1TB free on destination #6

Description

@leodirector

Environment

  • macOS version: Tahoe 26.5.1
  • Bitmatch version: BitMatch 0.1.3
  • Destination drive: external USB-C SSD, exFAT, ~1,2TB free
  • Connection type: [USB-C]

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select a source folder (~13.4GB).
  2. Select the destination drive above (confirmed ~1TB free in Finder/Disk Utility).
  3. Start the transfer.

Expected behavior
Transfer starts, since free space (~1TB) far exceeds the required 13.4GB.

Actual behavior
Immediate failure: "Insufficient space: 0.0GB available, 13.4GB required." Task aborts before any copying starts.

Additional context
Free space is clearly misreported as 0.0GB rather than the true value, so this looks like a bug in how available space is queried for this volume rather than an actual space issue. Possibly related to how the destination volume is resolved (e.g. APFS container/volume group, or a specific disk API call returning an unset/zero value for this drive type). Happy to test a debug build or provide more details if useful.
