Yeah. You can die somewhat gracefully and lose no data but processing
stops until someone comes in to manually clean up the mess. You can keep
running but dump any new data to /dev/null until something happens to
permit processing to work again. Personally, I'm in the die somewhat
gracefully camp. I abhor data loss as a design "feature".

You can set quotas on /var/spool/condor or whatever your spool is. This
has the same net effect while avoiding any security issues around
daemons writing to user home directories.
