OK, but if exhausting the space leads to unrecoverable / difficult-to-fix data loss then it's a poor choice of filesystem for uses where a full filesystem is unlikely but remains a possibility (eg a mail spool). If /var/tmp shouldn't be on NILFS then probably /var shouldn't be on NILFS either.

I recognise that NILFS2 is not yet described as ready for production use.
