I had this on my Ubuntu server... The NFS mount died for some reason and the downloading app wrote it all to the local filesystem, filling my SSD to the brink within minutes. By the time I ssh'd in the NFS had remounted, so it took ages to figure out where all that disk space actually was used since all dir scan tools would traverse into the NFS mount again.
It felt like everything was falling apart. As soon as I deleted something another app filled it up in minutes. Even Bash Tab completion breaks... There really should be a 98% disk usage threshold in Linux so that you can at least use all system tools to try and fix it.
