Most databases (not just Firebird), simply are not designed, to deal
with the full hdd situation, because the DBA, should be watching the
disk space, and make sure that it doesn't happen. Essentially you need
to check for a full disk error, every time you create a new page, if
your adding a lot of pages, that could mean executing a lot of logic for
a situation, that might occur once in a very long time.
