ditto,

I'm sure linux complains. but, as ever, if you want a belt and braces
approach... there is a little shell script that you can tie to a cron job
(along with a good discussion of its use on LANS etc.) at

Phill.
P.S., I've never had Disk Full (it is called keeping an eye on things),
although I do recall running out of inodes many years ago on a UNIX server!
