What is the progress on this bug?
Detection of sufficient disk space should be handled by the kernel. If any program attempts to write a file that there isn't enough space for, the kernel should pass an error code back to the program, and the program should react accordingly.
Since this effects virtually every program running in Linux, perhaps the details should be fleshed out more precisely in a blueprint. A quick search found one of relevance that needs some guidance: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/warning-of-disk-being-full
