      We should enhance our automated testing to test behavior when the system runs out of disk space. It is interesting to test the characteristics separately for the log and data files.

      We should make a decision about whether WiredTiger should attempt to continue in read-only mode when disk space is exhausted, or if it should exit immediately.

      If we attempt to continue, we need to ensure all system calls that may return ENOSPC have correct error handling. If we decide we can shutdown, we can probably simplify quite a lot of error handling.
