Pre-Write Check for Disk Full

Post by ray.wurlod »

Since writing to a hashed file when its file system is full, could the DBwrite routine be modified to include a pre-check for sufficient available space in the group?
This is actually in there already; it's what triggers the group extending into overflow. How difficult would it be to include a test for "file system full" before invoking the "extend into overflow" portion of code?
