The cost to check for free space is the cost of a fstatfs() system call on the file descriptor of the log file. This should be handled without touching the disk, so while it's not a cheap system call compared to, say, getpid(), as it acquires locks and enters VFS, it's a lot cheaper than any disk I/O operation. Optional is good, if only because sometimes people do actually want logging to fill the disk, and that's been the behavior historically :-).
Do you know if a kqueue based solution is cheaper?
