Spools should be given dedicated file systems so that when they do
fill up they don't interfere with system processes like syslog. This
has been a best practice for about as long as computers have had spool
files and queues.

If you need to reserve capacity for privileged processes on ext2/3/4
then 'tune2fs -m X /mount/point' will reserve X% of the file system's
capacity for root. Other file systems have similar reservation mechanisms.
