Description

We should stop writing to the datastore once we get down to some minimum amount of remaining space left. Unfortunately, this'll be tricky due to platform differences but go-ipfs really stops behaving well when the disk fills up.

Research direction

Start by tracing the datastore write paths in go-ipfs and identifying how remaining disk space can be measured on the supported platforms. Define the minimum-space threshold and verify that datastore writes stop before the disk fills, including platform-specific behavior.
