Sysadmin pro tip: Keep a 1-10GB file of random data named DELETEME on your data drives. Then if this happens you can get some quick breathing room to fix things.
Also, set up alerts for disk space.
There's cases where disk fills up quicker than one can reasonably react, even if alerts are in place. And sometimes culprit is something you can't just go and kill.
That's what the Yakuza is for.
Had an issue like that a few years back. A stand alone device that was filling up quickly. The poorly designed device could only be flushed via USB sticks. I told them that they had to do it weekly. Guess what they didn't do. Looking back I should have made it alarm and flash once a week on a timer.
