You should implement some form of automatic checkup for empty disk space, or
you should consider buying more disks. Disk space is cheap.
Ariel has 6x73GB 15K SCA SCSI drives (4 RAID 1+0 (146GB), 2 RAID 1
(72GB)), and is out of drive bays. Disk space is not cheap.
We certainly should write a script to shut down the master database
server safely before it runs out of disk space. Perhaps we should also
submit a feature request to MySQL AB asking them to prevent this situation.
We have used a script to automatically move old binlogs in the past, but
we haven't been using it recently. It takes some amount of effort to set
up and maintain.
