Description

Feature description

I would like it that you can see in the status for a remote that the remote is no longer syncing due to a disk space issue.

Problem or use case

I ran into an issue that Syncthing was no longer syncing and I could not see why. After logging in to the remote, I could see the warning that syncing stopped due to the disk being too full.

Alternatives or workarounds

I don't know of a workaround.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how Syncthing reports remote status and where the disk-space warning is produced; done means a remote's status exposes that it stopped syncing because of insufficient disk space, with coverage for the warning.
