Description of problem:

Once a brick becomes completely (100%) full, the gluster filesystem becomes inconsistent as xattr operations fail and recovery is very difficult.

A rebalance cannot be used to migrate data off the full brick as xattr operations will fail.

DHT uses a min-free-disk option to try to keep some reserve space on all bricks. However, this approach is not fool proof and should ideally be handled by the posix xlator.
