The current implementation of the direct_io_6 doesn't check for available disk
space before attempting to use it. This can result in complete exhaustion of
the disk space on a build system resulting in the failure of other tasks
running on it. Since this test is run eight times with different compiler
flags, the possiblity of causing some other task on the build machine to crash
is even higher. This really should be addressed before 4.2 is released.
