Task #883
Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza about 10 years ago
* running into the disk space hard limit causes crashes, and should be avoided if at all possible
* Postgres itself does not have a mechanism to do this, but our scripts could do this instead
* @lib/sql.py@ should trap @"OperationalError: could not extend file "...": No space left on device"@ and handle it by pausing until the disk space goes back down, and then retrying the last SQL command
** the last SQL command does not need to be idempotent, because the error means that it was rolled back
