Often when a disk fills up, it isn't actually full. The system usually reserves a few percent for the OS to operate.
How come memory isn't treated the same way? I have 16GB, start killing user processes when 256MB free is reached ... lots of hard problems avoided?

I'd rather have several thresholds: when non-privileged user syscalls start failing, when root syscalls start failing, when processes start to be killed, when kmalloc() starts failing.
