Public bug reported:

on a small disk (here 60GB ssd) apt-btrfs-snapshot does not check if
there is enough disk-space left for a snapshot.

For novice Linux Users if a system hangs due to 100% disk usage this is
at least a tremendous showstopper. For newbies the system reaches a
unusable state if 100% disk space is used. If one doesn't know that it's
due to apt-btrfs-snapshot this is a big pitfall.

There should be a check on the disk size and on the amount of free disk
space before a snapshot is done. If the disk space is under a certain
size apt-btrfs should ask if it is ok to delete the oldest snapshot(s).

** Affects: apt-btrfs-snapshot (Ubuntu)
