Of course. I have Cacti running to monitor disk usage on all my servers.
That doesn't help if a user creates several duplicates of a huge table,
or otherwise gobbles disk space. There's always the *potential* to run
out of disk space, and I'm concerned that Pg doesn't handle that
gracefully. I agree it shouldn't happen, but Pg shouldn't mangle the DB
when it does, either.
