Public bug reported:

Backups are being stored using and external usb drive with the zfs
filesystem. There is a quota set on the backup partition. When deja-dup
fills the partition to it's quota it simply stops backing up instead of
deleting the oldest backups to make room for new backups. Setting the
quota higher will allow deja-dup to continue, but the this is not a
desired behavior, after all, what are quotas for but to limit disk
usage.

Deja-dup does not seem to recognize a zfs quota limit as a full disk.
