The problem is that your "good implementation" only protects you from the
problems you thought about, whereas there will always be some unexpected new
situation next time around. Just like the auto-replies for email.
The "safe implementation" which only monitors but doesn't try to auto-extend
the partitions will be just as useful in 99% of the cases.

Problem is not the number of processes, but the amount of disk thrashing
going on.
