I'm not an rdiff-backup developer mind just a user.
I think you might find a few bits of software that crash if they run out
of hard drive space.
There are other alert programs that alarm when drive space is getting low.
Sure it would be nice if rdiff-backup could recover and save one when
this happens and it
does happen. There was some discussion on list some time back about
being able to specify
temp space so that rdiff-backup could perform at least a roll back.
Another option is to have rdiff-backup look for a certain amount of free
space (configurable) and fail if its not available

Yes one could certainly put this in the wrapper script that is calling
rdiff-backup.
