How to manage disk usage in Ubuntu?
Hello,
I have been running under ubuntu 14.04 trusty and 18.04 bionic.
What I wonder is about:

* how to stop all process in case hdd capacity is almost full and create space for system files

* if possible, to prevent filesystem to write anything into hdd when there is such a risk

* if there is any script that can manage/control the disk usage and protect the system.

* if possible to fix via recovery mode when disk usage is at 100%

Many thanks
Boris
