Not a bug in PostgreSQL.

See the warnings on using network attached storage:
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/creating-cluster.html>

But the PostgreSQL "bugs" list is intended for reporting actual bugs
in PostgreSQL. That your server has insufficient disk capacity for a
particular database is not a bug in PostgreSQL.
