  When the disk fills up, all havoc breaks loose.  :)  It does not recycle
space as you mentioned.  If we can free some other space on the disk,
pending connections will continue, and things eventually catch up to
where it was.

  FWIW, our worst-case disk fill took down our email (obviously), our
dialup (using database-driven radius) and our wireless network (because
we'd recently moved to a db-driven scripted system for bandwidth limitting,
and missed one fail-safe check to keep from hosing everything), which is
about 98+% of our network.  We've gotten things in a little better shape
since then, but it's still not pretty.  :)
