There are any number of free tools out there that let you monitor
your system. Take a look here for a discussion and pointers to
different ones (link folded).

If you're running a db that could potentially run out
of disk space, you should be running something like this.

I have to say though, that it's pretty poor that the database
becomes corrupt if the system runs out of space - it should
just "burp" and tell the user that it cannot commit any
more transactions. 2.1 appears to be fix though?
