Set the size of your data store to the size of the file system.

All disks are finite.  Set your data store size.

You're assuming that Java can *determine* when disk space is running
low.  I'd be willing to bet money that it can't do that.  Remember,
everything Java does has to be platform-independent.  You can't run
system("df ."); and then parse the output -- because that wouldn't
work on Windows, for instance.

You need to tell it how much disk space is available, up front, in the
config file.
