Description

As a customer, I do not want my system to corrupt redis databases and refuse to come up after a DRBD or other disk full situation. I would like the system to notice the disk full situation, warn, and shutdown cleanly. This way, I can clean up and start back up without further incident.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked opscode-omnibus commit and the disk-full incident described in the issue. Trace where disk-space conditions could be detected and where a warning and clean shutdown would be coordinated; done means the system avoids corruption and can be restarted after cleanup.
