For one thing the virtual memory file has space reserved on disk, and is not resized live. I'm not totally sure how many things are writing to disk in the background. At least the syslog, which could be stopped in the worst case of no disk space left. In general the system could turn itself into a read-only system like a live CD. And of course warn the user that disk space is gone or almost gone. Having a configurable (on or off) warning at a configurable space-left value might also be nice. But this is getting off-topic and has nothing to do with Scott's problem, so I'll stop now. -- Regards, Ryan
