This trick has certainly saved me more times than I am willing to admit! I usually roll with: `fallocate -l 8G DELETE_IF_OUT_OF_SPACE.img`

Nice. I liked the trick in the article, but was wondering if it might confuse the next admin who needs to figure it out.

Was also thinking of customising the login greeting to mention the file (/etc/motd).

what if you named it "THIS_IS_A_BIG_FILE_IN_CASE_THE_DISK_FILLS_UP_DELETE_IN_EMERGENCIES.BIN"
