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

Not half-baked at all.  It's very nice to be able to do a fast MOVE of
the db files to save them temporarily until you know a checkpoint
restore has succeeded.  Having to copy 200GB of metadata takes an age.

much
to the conversation and tried to discard it but I must have hit the send
button
by mistake.
