[p4] How well does perforce handle the disk being full?

[Robert Cowham]

Definitely a situation best avoided!

I have seen corruptions years in the past (another app ran amok on the same
partition). Recent server versions are rather better at detecting and
failing without corruptions, but it's not something I would like to test
myself - rather have other suckers^H^H^H^H^H^H^Husers report back on it...

A pretty simple cron job or equivalent helps safeguard.

As a by-the-by, in the interests of better sleep, I would always try pretty
hard to have my journal and db.* files on different disks (and preferably
controllers). YMMV.
