Hi,

Why do you do this?

I don't see that "filling user's home dir with large amounts of data
without announcing this ti the user" be the same as not checking for
free space.

Sure, no question the latter is a must have. Still, also a program that
will make large data dumps -somewhere- must tell this toi the user
_before_ doing so. even if that happens on a large dik with 100G free
space and after it it is still 50, I want to know that before and not
wonder by acident some days later why my disk is so full.

Please undo the bug merge, it's not correct IMHO.
