I don't believe there is any method for notification in place, and I've run into
the out of space on / problem several times during the f9 rawhide period. There
are quite a few apps that behave VERY badly when it happens too (unfortunately I
haven't kept track of the ones I ran into, oops). Running completely out of
disk space is something I just assumed is bad juju.
If a daemon was running and notifying the user of an impending problem that
would be great, as long as it was nicely behaved when you didn't want to know
about a certain filesystem, or not be warned repeatedly. I just hate that in
Windows, and although you can prevent it through the registry it is not obvious how.

Doing so totally blows your plausible deniability so maybe not 'everything'. ;)
