Description

The server should check for low disk space before storing files. I don't know if this is the case already but I had problem with this.
I didn't looked the server for a while and the storage went full. During this time the server could not compile the submissions and the database got corrupt (The executables from these submission are showed in the database but they don't exist in the disk)

Research direction

Start by locating the server's file-storage and submission-compilation entry points, then inspect how disk-full errors affect database updates. Reproduce or test the low-space path if the project supports it; done means preventing inconsistent database records when storage fills and covering the behavior with a test.
