You put the luser data and the critical data into separate tablespaces
that are in separate partitions (filesystems). End of problem ...
(And no, I don't believe in having Postgres reinvent filesystem-level
functionality. If you didn't set up appropriate hard partitions,
consider a loopback filesystem for your tablespace.)
