The cost to check for free space is the cost of a fstatfs() system call on

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?
I think that before solving this problem, we should establish it is one. I'm
not convinced it will be.
