[Bug 81987] Re: no warning when low disk space or even when disk full

[Kurt J. Bosch]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
  
  Today on edgy with kde-desktop mozilla-thunderbird suddenly gave me only
  strange error-messages about could not import picture, could not save
  draft and finaly could not write temp-file when tried to send or at
  least save a new mail.
  
  After poking arround a bit, I found my root-partition was full.
  
  This is was df reports nomaly:
  /dev/hda7              7850964   3775512   3676644  51% /
  /dev/hda8             43332672  38139146   3852020  91% /home
  
  For some unknown reason mpd wrote huge error.log files until disk was
  full.
  
  I really think there should be a warning to the normal desktop-user,
- when such a thing it happens.
+ when such a thing happens to give him a chance to save his work.
+ 
+ Of course such a situation will be even more painfull when some one has
+ done some large piece of work in some other application.
