I would run a cron job that checks for the size free and if its too small runs another job that stops needed services, clears the caches, and then restarts the services. I would include (from personal experience here) samba in that shutdown script as well, since I have had it bork out due to lack of free space once, and I thought my computer fried due to the sluggishness even after freeing the space. What was needed was a stop a wait and then a restart (took a 5 min pause to ensure that it did indeed speed my machine up).
