As a matter of fact , i suppose that a UDF function would be better , but as
a fix while someone comes up with that , i suggest a quick and dirty job
like a bash shell script that updates a table in the database with the free
space , a cron job that executes every minute , and a trigger in the
afterupdate of the table that fires up an exception when the value goes
below a given value
