handling of database size exceeding physical disk space - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

Does anyone know how postgres/ postmaster handles the
situation where the physical hard disk space is full ?
Does it crash / corrupt the database, or does it
cleanly exit with appopriate message so that relevant
tables can be pruned (by the user) to free up disk
space and get it working again ?

Thanks,
Rini
