[Bug 1121874] [NEW] MySQL launch fails silently if < 4MB of disk space is available

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Dave Chiluk (chiluk):

[Impact]
MySQL will not launch if less than 4MB of disk space is available:

/etc/init/mysql.conf:
LC_ALL=C BLOCKSIZE= df --portability /var/lib/mysql/. | tail -n 1 | awk '{ exit ($4<4096) }'

This behaviour is OK, but it should not stop silently but report an
error message so that the admin knows why it did not start.

[Test Case]
1) Prep system to have 4MB disk space
2) Attempt to start mysql server
3) Silent fail with upstart

[Regression Potentional]
Possible regressions may include mysql failing to start.  As the upstart job has been modified.
