It essentially does this by monitoring the total space used. I'm not planning
to implement any monitor of the partition free space because: 1. figuring out
how much space remains in a partition is very system dependent. 2. there
could be 10 or 20 partitions that are being used, so that would complicate
things.
The administrator has reasonable control, and if the free space goes to zero,
Bacula will attempt to despool.
