Honestly, the truth is that free space monitoring isn't Bacula's job.
Bacula doesn't know what else it's sharing disk space with.
That said, the subject has come up before; there has been discussion of
how best to handle the problem. Nothing has been implemented yet
though. As best I recall, the general conclusion of the discussion was
that there needed to be some kind of minimum free space directive for
disk pools, such that Bacula would decline to create any new volumes if
there was less than [directive value] free space on the device. I'm not
sure whether this has actively gone anywhere yet.
