I use some scripts that monitor disk space, and monitor disk usages by "subsystem" (logs, mail, services, etc) using Nagios. And as DevOps Borat says, "Disk not full unless Nagios say 'Disk is full'" :_) Although long before it is full it starts warning me.
It doesn't go off very much, but it did when I had a bunch of attacks on my web server that started core dumping and that filled up disk reasonably quickly.
Back in the day we actually put different things in different partitions so that we could partition failures but that seems out of favor with a lot of the distros these days.
