I have a similar question to yours... I set Coda with a cache of 20MB
(manual tells me to do that during tests), but when I copy files of
80-100MB, I get cache errors... and df reports that /coda is only 20MB
big altogether. So when I copy a big file, it says there's a negative
free space left on /coda...
