Is there any work in progress to detect a low disk space condition for
disk based media? Currently when I run out of space I end up with Bacula
using up tiny bits and pieces all over the place which mucks up my 'one
volume = one job' assumption and requires a bit of cleaning up pain.

Three ways I can think of solving this:
1. a "don't span volumes" option in the job resource
2. a "maximum volumes per job" option in the job resource
3. a way to get the storage daemon to hold the job if disk space is less
than some amount, eg "minimum space = 5GB"

#1 would work nicely in my case. #2 is just a more general version of
#1. In this case the job would just fail if the media became full, a
message would be sent to me, and I'd fix the problem and rerun whatever
jobs were necessary.

#3 would send a message and then just cause the sd to hang and stop
accepting further data to that device until the disk space increased
again. I could fix the problem and the job would continue again.

Thanks

James
